    Feature request idea: Comparing graphics

    Hey Hexus chaps, i have another feature request, so maybe they are starting to come thick and fast. Well, maybe not fast...

    The background
    Nearly every decent review article by Hexus and any other will talk about the comparative difference between product A and product B, and quite rightly so.
    If we are talking about a new development in a games engine, you describe how light reflects blah blah.
    And of most importance (for the purpose of my argument) is when you review a graphics card and compare, say, how a 3870 card compares to an 8800GT at a given resolution.

    Plenty of sites, like Anandtech, also publish static screenshots comparing a difference, which is all well and good but in truth a static jpeg does not show what a games looks like.

    My request
    Videos.

    You have Hexus TV, so why not use it for review purposes?
    If a 4850 is better than a 3850, then show us. Don't tell us, but allow us to see for ourselves.
    I understand that we are talking about bandwidth etc, but if we could even have perhaps two screens running side by side of the same walk-through, you really would be able to see the difference... better than showing one then another.

    Feasible? Or cost prohibitive?

    Re: Feature request idea: Comparing graphics

    There are some BIG changes happening behind the scenes here at HEXUS right now that is going to drastically change the way in which we start to deliver content.

    I am not saying any more than that, but it will take us a little time, you just need to bear with us for a bit.

    I can assure you though, the changes will be well worth the wait and will see HEXUS continue to revolutionise the way tech content is published.

    Matt.
