Come see the new GPUReview!

This is still a work in progress but I think you guys'll dig it. There are some things that are not there (or working) yet. 

1. There will be a graph below the popularity graph that shows the price fluculations over time. The x-axis for both graphs will match so that you can see how the price and popularity change together.

2. The Multi-GPU button is not there yet.

3. Posting comments on the new pages is not ready yet.

4. The Frequently Compared Cards box (top right) will have tabs for Frequently Compared, Family, GPU, Price Range, and Release Year.

 

Now that is out of the way, let me show you something that is working. **Clicking on a card name will no longer take you to the manufacturer's page. Instead you will get a popup box that looks something like this:

 

Popup

This popup contains the card name, model number, the manufacturer (clicking on this will take you to the manufacturer's page for the card), the picture for the card, and then all the information that we have for the card in our database.

**The popup will not appear if you have sorted the card list. It will work in the future of course, but this is a bug for now.

One more thing. We encourage you to post feedback about this work in progress in the comments for this story. Be nice please. Mike works so hard...

Looks good so far! Definitely a more refined and professional looking page.

It'll take me a while to get used to seeing the web page centered rather than left aligned, but that's just me not accepting change very well :) Great job with the framing though, the page does well even at low resolutions. And it looks good on my 1080p 46" too, so, very nice! I also love the black/green color scheme. Its very easy on the eyes; even in a dimly lit room.
My only real qualm with the new site is the logo...it seems to be, well for a lack of better terms, hard to look at. It almost tires my eyes out as they try to refocus...of course to no avail...probably just me though, so nothing to worry about. Also, don't know if it's just my display but some of the words blend in to the background so they are unreadable unless they're selected. Probably just something you were going to fix later on, but thought I might mention it in case you didn't have the problem on your display.

I'm very impressed though...this web page rocks! Keep up the good work! I don't even want to know how many hours and late nights these changes represent...don't think they go unnoticed and unappreciated though!

What can I say ... good work !
And now the memory bit is written as X4 on cards that have GDDR5 ( like 900x4 instead of 1800x2 ) ... although it currently says 1800x4 on the HD 4870 :P .

Honestly, I don't like it at all. It looks like what you have right now, except with a generic skin. It seems to have lost functionality too. Like easily comparing cards and the "New" and "Popular" area. I really love your current circuitry skin with the brushed metal accents.

Definetly keep up the work though! I'm sure it will turn out great.

Thanks for the site too! I use it all the time. Multiple times a week. :)

Thats really awsome! Keep it up :)
I mean this is already the best site for GPU related stuff and it can still get even better... :D

I mostly like, but the background/header is *too* clean. And the white text is pretty stark, almost hard to read, against the dark grey background. Overall, great job!

@Satsuki All of that functionality you mentioned (and then some) will be on the new site, don't worry. As for how it looks, I decided that something much simpler and cleaner would be faster and easier to maintain. And I'm not done tweaking the visuals yet.

The more I play around with it, the more I appreciate the work you guys put into it.

One more suggestion: When clicking the Minimize, Restore and Maximize buttons, it's almost inherent for a user to click a button once for the desired effect, then click the same button again to go back to the previous state.
