Videocard database!

[AnitaPeterson]

Here are links for reference.
Basically you can find any card, as far as drivers, reviews or comparisons.
Warm thanks to all those who helped putting it together!

* NOTE: I will soon make a round-up of new sites and reviews for the new Radeon and Geforce series. Stand by! (Oct. 12) *

The second link now leads to a more comprehensive site (thanks Brian48 and PC72!)
The German site (link no.6) allows you to make side-by-side comparisons between any two cards in their database.
The Reactorcritical page (link no. 11) has some use as a price search engine.
Also, the Reactorcritical Kyro review (link no. 13) has some interesting benchmarks and pics - already posted in the forum, thank you guys! - which I considered useful.
The last link refers - finally! - to the quality of various TV-out cards!

Some older links have been changed, or updated, as of September 7.

I can read it fine. Maybe you have your display customized to show differently then the page defaults?

 

[stran]

HEY! thats weird? i went back to the site and all is fine, I CAN SEE!!!
before, the title '8 dimensional' was tiled all across the screen, making it impossible to read!
Wierd.

 

[PC72]

Hmmm...that should not happen...I try to
test it on all browsers....
If it happens again, tell me the type of
browser you use and I will try to fix it.

[AnitaPeterson]

Cool!

 

[AnitaPeterson]

bump... I wish there was a way to keep this thread in a more permanent position...

 

[DarkManXY2G]

Thanks for all the links. This will definately come in handy when I'm looking to upgrade my video card.

 

[SpeedTrap]

best place to get drivers first

 

[ErikaeanLogic]

[Rand]

<< the second link is screwed. (driverzone) >>


Re-linkified second link Driver Zone

 

[AnitaPeterson]

The site on the second link seems to be having problems. If it doesn't come back online soon, I'll remove it.

 

[Keltron]

[FelixDeCat]

I don't know if you are, but I AM! And a lot of websites ARE hard for ME to read. Drives me nuts sometimes. I sometimes do a lot of resolution changes and have even resorted to copying and pasting reams of text into applications in which I can read without really straining my eyes.

Since you guys brought this topic up, I might just as well,
ask this question ... again, if you guys don't mind answering it ..

I really ain't have plans to regret what video card I gonna get, so anyone out there,
would kindly enough to lay down a line or two, which card should I go to,
it would really make my day. Not a high end card though ....

 

[Phuz]

Awww.. Muse

Handy idea Anita, good stuff.
