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.

I also like not having the borders on the side, but it's not a rejection though as a lot of sites do it. Just a dislike in general (damn quirks of mine!).
To each their own though.
Background image (tpucdn.com/images/bg-v1.png) not seems good...
IMHO :)
Like the comment layout, dislike the solid white background/font combo. It would be nice to see something break everything up and make it look less congested and easier to read.
Whatever does or does not change, congrats on the relaunch! :toast:
I like this, it's almost the same interface but prettier.
Anyway I like it!
Background seems too bright and the font is a tad harder to read.
Do a poll: do you use 4:3 Ratio screens? 0% :roll:
Good:
Very light and shiney (does it load faster?)
Bad:
No seperator between news post on the front page, not visible enought?
a little hard to read, even beeing on 1080p background is bright as heck!
this "comments under news" looks funny because there are all the poster name i know, but with just stars on their names :D a little too empty a epn-i-s has been cut off!
On my 2560x1600, I'm using 200%, but it sure does look better.
Welcomes the change :D but android app under reviews wont load.
...and not too condensed font :)
