List of available graphic cards, sound cards?

by Martin Schultz · in General Discussion · 04/06/2006 (12:16 pm) · 5 replies

Hi,

does anyone have a list of recent and older hardware like graphics cards, soundcards, network cards etc. to put those hardware names into a bug tracking system? It would be nice to have a list of those hardware so that the testers can easily pickup they testing hardware for the bug they are entering.

If anyone knows about such a list, please post it here or drop me a mail.

Thanks,
Martin

Lol there are so many out there. You'll need to do a lot of research with major vendors.

If such a list existed it would not be free. Your talking a million + sku's. It's insane amount of data.

So your building a bug tracking system?

www.pricewatch.com is about the best "list" I know of.

What you really need is a human resource. A hardware guru. Testing / QA analyst.

Established hardware baseline. To eliminate anything that does not meet the specs.

Network cards? Well that's not really a game problem.. Firewalls will be more a concern.

But still just from you post we really don't know what your developing. The scope is too wide without more details.

This is a good list for graphics cards. It tells you about the OpenGL capabilities they have, which can help track down some graphics bugs that only happen with a certain card.

That's a pretty good list at Delphi3D, thanks.

@Randy: Yes, this list is for a bugtracking system in development.
