Massive Graphics Card Review

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the sifting-through-the-cruft dept.

Brian Tonka writes to tell us that rojakpot has posted a pretty comprehensive graphics card review including over 240 different desktop graphics cards. With each of the vendors given their own section and using 15 different points of comparison this should be quite a starting reference for the enthusiast and casual buyer alike.

  1. Review? by compm375 · · Score: 5, Informative

    This might be helpful to some people, but it can hardly be called a review. It is just a list of specs. It doesn't even have benchmarks.

    Replying to myself, I didn't notice the "NVidia" link hidden at the bottom (I looked, I swear!), which leads to XGI, etc.

    There are other brands on the following pages of the article; it's just really hard to find the 'next page' link because the site's layout SUCKS.

  4. MTexels/s by BrookHarty · · Score: 4, Informative

    I'm not sure if mega-texels shows true performance. I have a ATI 9700 Pro and Geforce 7800 GT, both can run games at high resolutions at the same speed, but the 7800 can run with AA/AF enabled without a performance hit.

    It is nice to see where GFX cards rate in games, and Toms hardware has the best link per game. Thats why I picked a GT over a GTX for 200 dollars less.

  5. This is really cool by fraktus · · Score: 3, Informative

    Ok seems I am the only one to see this usefull.
    My application requiere shaders v2.0 and it's really boring to always type radeon radada in google to hunt for the specs to reply to questions from customers.
    Also even if it will not tell you for sure that your engine will run faster on this one or this one it will at least give you a hint.
    Having the OpenGL version supported from the driver would also have been nice.
