Video Card Resources

[BlackArrow]

Figured it would be worthwhile to post some of the sites I find useful for hardware reviews. Please feel free to add your "go to" resources...


One of my favorites is Tom's Hardware Tom's Hardware: Hardware News, Tests and Reviews

These Video Card charts are very useful...just make sure you check for the latest one since they update it monthly:

techPowerUp! - The latest in hardware and gaming

i REALLY liked this site over the last week looking at things. They break the video cards down in a great apples to apples comparison. they set the target card at 100% and how other cards relate.. love it.
They also take a card, and list it against its like top 5 and bottom 5 competitors, also certain brands cards vs the recommended clocks from chipset maker.( tests out OC's cards and rates em against stock etc)

My wife has a tendency to kill anything electrical she comes in contact with. I don't want her within 5 feet of my computer if I can avoid it. She even takes down power outlets and fuses in my house: she can plug in a vacuum and blow a fuse in about 3 seconds. I can do the same thing to the same plug and finish the whole room.
