Presenting the All New TechPowerUp
Welcome to the all new TechPowerUp, a refreshing redesign of your favorite place on the web for PC hardware and technology.
Our brand new site design modernizes the site, makes it more usable, while not deviating from our focus on simplicity, without confusing it with minimalism. The site features clean and bright elements that are ready for ultra high-definition displays, and devices with high-density screens, such as iPad with Retina display, and the new breed of smartphones with 1080p displays. Our site not only scales up with some of these devices, but also its elements keep up with high-density displays.
Our new site design introduces a suite of new features to our main sections, including Reviews, Downloads, Case-mod Gallery, and our four databases. The Reviews section gets more usable summary lists, the Downloads section makes it easier to find what you're looking for. The Case-mod gallery is optimized for high-resolution images, and features an improved gallery view. We've always considered our four databases - Reviews, VGA BIOS, GPU, and CPU, our strengths, and optimized each with unique sets of new features that greatly improve usability. All the content is timed to the users' local time.
Work on the all new TechPowerUp began in early-2013, and was designed by taking inputs and feedback from all of our departments. In April, we opened the new design up for testing by the TechPowerUp Forums community, and took a great deal of feedback from it.
We're extremely happy to launch our new interface to the web, designed by everyone who holds the site dear.

Usually I hate new designs (Microsoft.com and anandtech are the most recent examples) but your redesign is very nice.
a bit off topic, but I like anandtech's new theme and Microsoft's site is very simple and neat, just like the old TPU.
Nice layout, I already love it :)
Great Work TPU!
The condensed font make my eyes hurt, bad choice(and I work in design field), the rest it is ok.
EDIT: avatars and user info only viewable when browsing via the forums not the mainpage.
Clicked sign in got nothing no log on placeholder had to log on via forums log on
