How is it confusing?

Well minus the part where theres 8GB versions with no name differences..

It's confusing because they constantly change their numbering scheme. Nvidia has stayed consistent in the last 17 years

Well yea... But nvidia didn't change their naming scheme because they use it to mislead people.

A 5080 today is equivalent to what a 1060 used to be when it comes to raw sillicon if I remember correctly.
