Question : Problem: I want to learn about video cards

I want to buy one, but I'm totally confused about computer video cards. The numbering, the chipsets, clock speeds, card manufacturers -- I can't make heads or tails of it all. For example, someone will tell me, "get the GeForce 7900 GTX" but when I go online to look I see a dozen or more manufacturers and models with variations that range from $100 to $500. I haven't found one so far, but is there some source I can go to and read up about all this to help me make sense of it all?
