Ryzen follow a similar rating system.

Graphics Card
The graphics card or (GPU) creates and displays the images on your screen. The higher rating of a graphics card the better the game looks and runs. A common graphics card is Nvidia RTX they have a rating system where by 4 digits follow the RTX, for example RTX 4060. The second 2 digits of this (60) are the rating. these go up in multiples of 10 eg.. 40, 50, 60.... up to 90. the higher the number the better the graphics card.
