    Whats the difference between GTX GTS GT GSO GTX+ etc on nvidia cards
    and why are the cards that are nvidia gtx xxx so expensive. On their website they recommended them for high end prices and power but on komplett i compared them and there didn't seem to be that much difference.

    You will have to more more specific.

    In general graphics cards manufacturers sell them based on a three level three tier system

    So on the first tier you have crap cards, with a number rating like 9400. Then within that tier you have about three levels with a rating like 9400, 9400Gs, 9400gt. Each card only slightly better then the last.

    Then you get another tier like 9600, then 9800. Them being mid and high level cards.

    Then you have to consider that you have generations of cards as well. So a top tier card like a 9800 may well be faster then the previous generations top tier the 8800 and have more functions. But the 8800 will be faster then the current tiers mid range model the 9600. But the 9600gt could be more powerful then the low end base model 8800 from the top tier last gen cards.

    In general it can get very messy and very confusing. I'm a bit out of the market at the moment as I have no intention of buying a card so I'm not currently doing any research.

    The best thing you can do is decide on a price range and choose the best performing card that you can get for the price.
