Major public features already available in the product.
- •Dedicated Upgrade Planner & Out-of-Pocket Cost Engine: Upgrade Planner Widget ranks hardware upgrades by capability gained per dollar actually spent out of pocket (new price minus current part resale value). Covers discontinued hardware (180 GPUs, 539 CPUs).
- •Redesigned Head-to-Head Comparisons (/versus/): 123+ head-to-head comparisons feature aligned A/B decision bars, mobile tabs, sticky controls, crossover pricing, and 3rd option recommendations.
- •Multi-Product Compare Matrix (/compare/): Compare 1 to 6 hardware models side-by-side with a searchable picker, per-category navigation (GPU, CPU, SSD, RAM, Motherboard), and clear separation between capability and price value.
- •Daily 5-Category Market Engine: Daily automated offer collection for GPUs, CPUs, SSDs, RAM, and Motherboards across Amazon, Newegg, B&H, and Central Computer.
- •Capability grades in the calculator: Every row displays its capability grade (S to F) for the selected job, with full scenario breakdowns in expanded cards.
- •Ray tracing by resolution: Select Full HD / 2K / 4K in the filters to view resolution-specific RT performance scores.
- •Measured CPU power: Independently measured wattage in games and under all-core load on covered processor pages, replacing inaccurate TDP marketing numbers.
- •Upscaling & frame-gen columns: Displays DLSS, FSR, and XeSS support alongside frame-generation indicators in buying guides.
- •
- •Publisher Widget Ecosystem & Shortcode: Public widget gallery, embed builder, live iframe demos, and native
{{< comparator >}}Hugo shortcode support.
In Progress
The next improvements users will see in the calculator and widget ecosystem.
- •Opt-in Pro Mode for Main Table: A dense, customizable matrix mode for power users to toggle custom columns and collapse filters without changing the default clean experience.
- •Market Movers & Deal Alerts: Daily value and price history tracking to highlight hardware that recently hit all-time low prices or major value score increases.
- •Wider Measured Power Coverage: Extending real measured wattage in games and rendering across more processors and graphics cards.
- •Visual Benchmark Charts: Interactive bar charts comparing raster, ray tracing, and AI performance across selected hardware.
Future Vision
Global expansions and advanced PC-building tools.
- •More Regions and Stores: European store feeds (Amazon DE, Mindfactory, Cyberport), local currency switching (EUR, GBP, UAH), and region-aware offer matching.
- •PC Build & Compatibility Engine: Assemble a full PC build and evaluate part-to-part compatibility (socket, PSU wattage, case clearance, PCIe lanes) with a real-time system value score.
- •AI Build Assistant: An intelligent assistant to generate optimized PC component lists tailored to your budget and specific games or workloads.
- •Public Data API & CMS Plugins: Programmatic access and WordPress/WooCommerce integrations for tech publishers and retailers.
Note: Priorities may change based on community feedback. We build in public!
Shaping the Future of PC Building
Our roadmap is the blueprint for The Comparator platform. We are expanding from GPU and CPU value calculators into richer product pages, embeddable publisher widgets, more hardware categories, and region-aware PC-building tools. Your feedback drives our development, so if you want to see a specific feature or retailer, reach out and let us know!
