That... sort of helps... i don't know, still having trouble translating that to these... reqs.

  • Graphics: 512 MB ATI 4800 series or better, 512 MB nVidia 9800 series or better

Or just

  • Graphics:NVIDIA GeForce 9000 series / ATI Radeon HD 3000 series or greater

For XCOM.

Those are all very old card series', all pre-2008 I believe.

All newer ATI cards (Radeon HD) go up in 1000's for series, 100's for large power increases and 10's for small power increases. The X400 series are usually low end, X900 series high and X500 - X800 bridge the gap. XX70 would be slightly more powerful than XX50 and so on.

It's a similar system for the Nvidia cards, but with only three digits. They go up in 100's for series and 10's for power.

Mobile card use the same numbering scheme I think but have an "M" on the end and are less powerful than their desktop counterparts. So the GTX 660 would be better than the GTX 660M.

ATI are currently on the 7000 series and Nvidia are on the 600 series.

EDIT: Did I answer your question right? Not quite sure what you need to know.
