Graphiccards overview

[hiostu]

I hope this isn't considered spam, if it is just delete the thread.

We are busy creating a clear overview of a lot of graphiccards. Containing all sorts of usefull information.

Furthermore members can add comments/ratings for the cards. The aim for this overview is to help people make a decision on buying the cards.

The information in the DB isn't entirely finished but will be added in the next couple days/weeks.

I would appreciate it if people would take a look and even give some tips on how to improve it.

And please help the community to rate and comment the cards!!

Comments:

1) Nice
2) Memory and core clock always in Mhz
<b>why not just put MHz in the header?</b>
Similarly for Pixel Fill, Textel Fill, Bandwidth and Mfg process.

Here's the original comparison chart (very similar to what Flinx recommended);

<A HREF="http://www.tech-report.com/etc/comparo/graphics" target="_new">http://www.tech-report.com/etc/comparo/graphics</A>

Your click links need to provide more info (a picture or logo/boxcover would be nice), but I know it's a work in progress.

You need both Revisions of the FX5600Ultra 1=(350/350[700]) 2=(400/400[800]).
Also you might want to change the memory for 2 figures for the DDR memory. DDR-2 and GDDR3 will only make it worse if you only leave in the effective rates. Just my preference.

If you could add the Quadro, FireGL, and WildCat lines that would be nice too.

Also the Crap-tacular specs of the integrated chips would be nice for a comparison would be nice, but I understand the focus is mainly on cards. Just a good reference point for architecture.

Links to the MFR's website for additional info?

Looks like a good start. Already bookmarked it to add to my other one above for quick reference for others (quicker than explaining, just supply link).

1) Another idea is to provide a link to the manufacturers detailed specs.
2) Reviews and comparisons.
3) Don't mind me, just shooting my mouth off

It looks like a great start.

I put the mhz etc in the headers. I'll leave it for now, I might change it back. Depends on what I like the most.

I have also internally added the release year. The fields are going to have to be filled in. But that way we're able to create top10's for all the years.

Your "viewed" color is light grey. This on a white background is not as nice as it could be. It is difficult to read.

I'm sorry to say that I can't do anything about that. That is not my decision. I'll tell it to our site designer.
