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.

    It's a fricking table of all the cards and their specifications. It doesn't review a single card at all.

      Exactly. It's full of irrelevant specifications (including for some ancient, not-a-chance-in-hell cards) that no one can use to choose a card (and processor speed and hypothetical megatexel speeds are largely irrelevant in the real world. Micron manufacturing process...well that's just retarded). What a waste of a story spot.

      there are so many people that only have PCI slots (no AGP nor pci-Express) who would give anything for a nice comprehensive comparo review of old-school pci graphics cards.

      there is so much debate as to what is the fastest PCI card for gaming; yet the hardware sites don't understand the pain and suffering out there... or do they? all that is available on ANY hardware site is pure conjecture and respewing of marketing hype.

      they will NOT do a PCI video card review.

      i think they are under pressure from marketing forces (read: ad dollars) to not reveal the actual performance of PCI. (yet the review sites HAVE stated that the move to pciExpress is purely marketing; that there is NO performance benifit from AGP to pci-Express.)

      there is even a pci version of nvidia's 6200, yet try and find a review of that! (http://www.3dfuzion.com/cards_6200_pci_128.asp) yet you can find hordes of reviews of the agp and pciExpress versions of it.

      well, many brand name systems have only PCI, and it is a shock to many poor souls when they realize it (not everyone is as thorough as the /. crowd when it comes to picking out computers. and people recieve them as gifts, etc.). and i bet not providing a viable upgrade option is also a marketing move to force people to buy whole new systems just so they can play games.

      of course, i'm posting this hours after the article was put up, so prolly no one will even read this.

  2. 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.

    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.
