TheGreatSatan Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 This was an amazing tool. To be able to pull multiple video cards and processors to do side-by-side comparisons was like no other. In fact, there are no sites like that at all. In a retail position, this place was priceless. Now there's this new format. The scripts either crash my browser or there's just no real helpful data when doing comparisons. I understand there had to be a cost to maintain such an amazing amount of stats and data and could not be provided for free. Is there a cost to bring it back? What would you guys need to resurrect it once again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
der8auer Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 There is a lot of potential in the new design You can just help hwbot by reporting the errors you got. Then it's possible to improve the current design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Ney Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 (edited) hardware list tables like before will be back, when I dont know yet And for your information, there is compare tools: http://hwbot.org/compare/processors http://hwbot.org/compare/videocards Edited October 6, 2011 by Christian Ney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreatSatan Posted October 6, 2011 Author Share Posted October 6, 2011 (edited) ^I've used them and they are far more complicated than before. They also show a lot less info and don't seem to have very many chips/cards in the library I can make a monetary donation to help if necessary. You have no idea how many businesses used the old site and now don't, because it's changed Edited October 6, 2011 by TheGreatSatan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Ney Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 (edited) all chips/cards are available, only the popular ones are shown, but you can add more with the field at the bottom right Edited October 6, 2011 by Christian Ney showed => shown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1BadMoJoe Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Been gone for a while, nice to see the hard work to improve the site...but I do not want any one to take this the wrong way. I like the old format better, i am sure if I explore more I would maybe find out maybe some potential in some features. I have yet to discover such potential immediately only confusion in finding the information I need. Hard to elaborate on this, searching for older hardware I come across. Generally what I could easily navigate inputting information c.p.u. chip-set motherboard. Yes this can be done in this new format, its how I navigated with the older format to and 4870x2 information on charting still not popping up. http://hwbot.org/compare/videocards#1744,1587,1763,1787,1758,1695-17,29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hondacity Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 We can always optimize the compare tool. Any suggestions to how you'd prefer to see the data arranged? MM, you're customer support for hwbot members(as customers) is admirable. You'll do great things in the future ie sales or service marketting. Right now you'd be a great candidate replacing that Gigabyte sales/marketting guy. hahhahah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1BadMoJoe Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 How about an option for the ability for brain-dead confused users like myself to click on a option for old-school format? I feel like banging my head into the wall through my monitor to lessen my self inflicted behavior. I can't find anything other than video cards and c.p.u. like inputting chip-set ie. 848P Looks like I have to go through cpu chart (nice addition with the graphing:) click on an endless series of motherboards to find the right chip-set. I definitively like the old layout much better. I feel like I downgraded to Vista and Microsoft's endless changes in the layout. since win95 I always chose the old layout. I really do appreciated the efforts. I just feel like I'm the guy last year whom put on the white ninja outfit and failed in mixing dry ice and 60 proof vodka.

knopflerbruce Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Reminds me of the old version. I really missed a feature where you could get an easy overview of CPUs/GPUs of a particular family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richba5tard Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 What is the most natural way to browse for motherboards? Currently implemented on dev version: - processor manufacturers -> socket (optional: -> chipset) -> list of all motherboards with this chipset Is there a better way to organize this?

xoqolatl Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Processor manufacturers is not absolutely necessary. This would be good: (processor maker) -> socket -> chipset -> motherboard maker -> list of mobos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richba5tard Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Hardware junkies will be pleased with rev4.4.1 Disk and power supply list is still work in progress, and the others still need polishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
