EDIT: NO LONGER ASKING FOR HELP FILLING IN THE DATABASE. WHEN THE VISUALIZER IS DONE I'LL SEE ABOUT THROWING IN A PRE-EXISTING DATASET INSTEAD. Big thanks to the couple contributors who did help out already though.
[original post]
The critical parts are the release date & how high-end the card/chip was when it was released. I have a neat way to visualize something like this that I'm slowly working on, but I don't have time/knowledge to fill in all the data. That's where you guys can help me out. 😀 Anything is fair game, I don't need an exhaustive list of every chip revision ever released but the major GPUs you (or some corporate/industrial purchaser) could go out and buy for each year should be in there. Don't put values above 200 in the "high-endedness" column unless you have a really, really, good reason. If you don't know something for certain, you can leave it blank.
Please don't spread the link outside this board or VCFED.org for the time being. Right now it's an open form that everyone can edit; if this ends up being a problem I'll delete it and only invite specific people to contribute.
Motivation: when looking at used cards on classifieds sites I generally have no idea how they relate to each other. The model numbers all stopped making sense years ago. This will hopefully benefit everyone in the same boat.
If this is a big success I might do the same thing for CPUs.
