Pinning Cards & Adding Custom Listings

Two of the most powerful features in The Comparator are Pinning (fixing your existing hardware at the top) and Custom Cards (adding second-hand listings to evaluate before buying).

1. Pinning Your Current Graphics Card (📌)

When upgrading your PC, you want to know how much better a new card is compared to the one currently inside your computer.

How to Pin a Card:

1. Search for your current card in the table (e.g. RTX 2060 or GTX 1060).
2. Click the 📌 Pin Icon on the right side of the card row.
3. The pinned card is now locked at the very top of the table with a highlighted banner.

2. Adding a Used Listing from eBay / Facebook Marketplace / Craigslist

Found a used graphics card on eBay, Facebook Marketplace, or Craigslist for $250 and want to know if it’s a good deal?

How to Add a Custom Listing:

1. Click the + Add Custom Card button above the main table (or toggle Show Custom in filters).
2. Enter the listing details:
   • Reference Model: Select the GPU model (e.g., GeForce RTX 3070). Our database automatically populates reference benchmark scores, VRAM, and TDP!
   • Listing Price: Enter the seller’s asking price (e.g., $270).
   • Listing Link: (Optional) Paste the listing URL.
   • Condition: Mark as Used or Refurbished.
3. Click Save Custom Card.

Outcome:

Your custom listing appears directly inside the table with a Custom Card badge. The engine immediately calculates its exact Value Score ($0–100$), allowing you to see if the second-hand offer beats all brand-new retail store deals!
