What areas/weighting would you assign to GPU review's if utilising a method like Johnny's? Would you keep the same Performance(40%), Value(20%), Functionality(20%) and Build Quality(20%)? Which aggressive adverts? (e.g. Anand today has a site skin (misco), banner (ocz... and that for a site known for its SSD reviews, 2x squares, Microsoft and Supermicro for me. That's all above the fold. Adverts are a necessary evil, we try and keep relevant adverts on the site, and sometimes there are clashes, for instances it's no coincidence that AMD will launch a campaign on the day of an NV launch and vice-versa. Similarly a company will want a campaign to run along side their product launch. As for placement our current layout isn't very forgiving and we are actively working to improve this. Thank you for the feedback, we do genuinely want to hear feedback, today is the first time I've discovered this topic, I wish I'd seen it 2 years ago. So I guess something I can be thankful for to bassman

Our article aside, do you agree sites that recycle results from past reviews across various driver versions/systems and utilise time demos give an accurate picture of performance? Regarding the two sites singled out here, HH and KG. The editor at KG was in fact the previous editor at DriverHeaven, which we rebranded HardwareHeaven (We considered AwardHeaven as suggested here but it simply wasn't catchy enough) and he was responsible for creating ours and presumably KG's award model. So it was inherited by us, when he was removed from his position and we re-launched. We have made tweaks to the scoring system and have looked several times at removing the scores all together. But there are people out there who do like to look at overall scores as well. So a full overhaul is still in the works. Any feedback is appreciated. One change we did make and that was highlighted above, was that we no longer give out more than one award, originally it was set out that 10/10 for value/performance/overall would equal an award, but now we will choose the overall more appropriate award, hence why you see a motherboard receive gold/performance and then one - reviewed later receiving only gold for the same scores. It's not a perfect system by far, and we're always looking for ways to improve it.
