Review and articles

Hi guys,

I would like some feedback regarding your Driverheaven experience. Right now we are trying to vary our reviewing as much as possible, covering as much ground with regards to software and hardware alongside our driver releases.

Of course you all have views on what you would like to see more of/less of on the site so id be interested to hear if we are getting it right or if there is something you guys would like to see that we arent supplying.

Use this thread for feedback please, thanks.

Ya, very nice idea Zardon. Had been meaning to ask you to do something of the genre

Anyways, let's see what DH tells us

PS: I gotta stop that tongue smily

I think that more software related articles and reviews would both be interesting and fit DriverHeaven. A review could be a quick peek at what's new in a fresh version of any type of major application, while an article could be done as an introduction or guide to some useful piece of software of whatever kind. Like how there's a lot of talk on the forums on what's a good program for this and that, but most visitors could naturally benefit from a bit more "meaty" information with a number of interface screenshots and such. It wouldn't necessarily have to include a huge deal of analythical text to be interesting or useful for someone who hasn't spent time on the application before. Some ideas from the DriverHeaven Guides forum section should work very well in article format.

You should review more MID range hardware too, because nearly all reviews done here are about very expensive products most of us only dream about.

Funny you should mention that, we hope to publish a very interesting article to fall into this category over the next few days.

I really enjoy reading the current DH articles... from hardware to games they are all well writen and very informative

but maybe some software reviews (like lets say windows vista and comparing the performance to xp lets say)

I really appreciate the time people around here put into the reviews because they come out very enjoyable for the crowd to read

I've been reading almost all of your reviews since i got to know this site but i hardly see the bronze and silver awards because most of the time u guys review only the best of the best hardwares

Other than that your reviews/articles are a splendid read! Keep up the good work!

Well the thing is at least in the game reviews, we usually choose games because they seem nice and we like em. So it's tough to give a bad score (like I loved Quake 4 and I gave it with the editor's help quite high)......

But I understand

I see this place mostly as a tech site that specialises in computer hardware and drivers. For reviews of stuff like phones or games I go to sites that specialise in those things. Maybe concentrate more on the hardware and driver-related stuff.

Sandok · Nov 10, 2005, 10:11 PM

So in other words you don't like my reviews...

jk

More ideas or comments?

hey if you guys could do comparison sheet all GPU's tested this year and same for CPU's that would bee nice

Sandok · Nov 10, 2005, 10:26 PM

Well I'm not alowed to touch the big toys (hardware) but I'm sounds like a cool idea. Though time consuming since all the benchmarks have to be redone (since on different machines and all)

It'd take years
