Hi,
Phoronix site does a great job in testing graphic cards under *nix, which is very usefull, as those informations doesn't exist out there.
But the performance part of the tests focus on the comportement of the cards with games. But 3d is not the only use of graphic cards, with democratisation of HTPC (home theater PC) and the HD content waves, video performances are more and more sensible. Especially because we can observe very different comportement between cards due to hardware and drivers properties.
So I think that adding some video tests (with xvid, avc1, mpeg2, x264 movies) could interest lots of people.
What do you think about it ?
