I wanted to write "the problem is less the unprofessionalism of the benchmarkers, but the kind of benchmarks they are running. Not being real games they won't accurately reflect performance in them." Ofc, that is kind of the bias I work with, gaming performance is the most important factor, it's the default profile. But actually, the average benchmark position of gpus is pretty good. It looks like they were very careful in selecting synthetic benchmarks that reflect gaming performance accurately. Did that change? I now look at cpus again.... yeah, there it would not work, that is too far off of what I see in gaming performance. But cpus are hard, with single and multi/threaded performance differing so much and having different effects in each game you look at. So imho one could only use the gpu ranking, but the gpus are not hard to rank anyway :) But now I wonder whether that would not be a good data source for SSD and HDD performance. Maybe even for RAM... Thanks for your thoughts, you made me take a second look on something I had discarded earlier!
