Seems like a really dumb choice to use the RTX branding with the same number format for a totally separate product line, but maybe they&amp;#x27;re banking on that confusion to have people accidentally purchasing an 8 year old RTX 6000 when what they really wanted was an RTX 6050.&lt;p&gt;Or since Nvidia is historically stupid with naming systems and can&amp;#x27;t stick with them, maybe the RTX 4-digit numbering goes away before 6000 series.&lt;p&gt;They had a chance to keep a numbering system going when they did the GTX 1xx, GTX 2xx, GTX 3xx.... GTX 9xx, GTX 10xx, and could have gone to GTX 11xx and been set for as long as they wanted (well over a hundred years) counting up toward GTX 99xx), but instead they went to GTX 20xx and RTX 30xx so now they&amp;#x27;re going to run out of numbers again.&lt;p&gt;Bets on what&amp;#x27;s next? Do we hit RTX 10,000 and then jump back down to XTX 100?</text><parent_chain><item><author>Certified</author><text>Could they have picked a more confusing name?
