It's just how the marketing works. Generally the GS is a low end into the family, the GT is the mid-end and the GTX is the best. The number (such as 7300 or 7900) is just indictive of the GPU it uses, not always how it performs.
For example, the GeForce 7300GS sound higher than the 6800GS, but it really was only meant to outperform the previous 6200s. The 7300 actually uses a newer GPU than the 6800, it just has less pixel pipelines enabled, thus slowing it down. It's how hardware makers market things, last time I checked the Sempron 3400+ was slower than even the Athlon 64 3000+.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
