This review and the other one about SteamOS are really high quality reviews! Not only that, but I think there is great interest in these kind of reviews... more than the average review on this site, I've seen them relinked on other big site's as well.
If I might give a recommendation, make these graphs:
But then instead of power consumption, with minimal FPS, 50% average FPS, average FPS and maximal FPS.

on a laptop using r600, around september 2013 (I know it since I took a screenshot of the game claiming good performance) I used mesa-git and I was able to run tf2 at full graphics (with r600 backend and radeon dpm enabled if I recall correctly), today I cant even play it on linux at minimum settings, regressions sucks. I'm sure than the amd free driver can still offer more performance.Last edited by edoantonioco; 26 October 2015, 02:45 PM.

Input lag is the amount of time it takes for a display to process a button input while gaming. If you value your gaming experience, you want to avoid displays that exhibit high input lag, as it makes your gameplay feel sluggish and unresponsive. Our input lag database below will help […]
Input lag is the amount of time it takes for your TV to display a signal on the screen from when you send it. It's especially important for playing reaction-based video games because you want the lowest input lag possible.

Nice benchmarks, I look forward to the next round with Kernel 4.3. I actually run a 390x and game at 4k, although lately less so under Linux due to obvious reasons. Looks like we should all be playing Team Fortress LOL. I hope Valve manages to make progress with AMD videocard performance and SteamOS. It is actually looking up for Linux gaming, and 4k Linux Gaming. (AMD drivers still terrible for allot of titles however)
There is a Dying Light demo for Linux available atm, can that be benchmarked also? I don't know if it has any automated system or not (contact dev?) but it sure gives videocards a run for their money!
wizard69 you can run in super resolution mode on 1080p screens. So 4k is accessible to all, however I dunno if it works under Linux just yet.

Michael this is an interesting article but it brought something to mind, 4K video cards aren't of much use unless you have a 4K display. Since 4K TV's are widely available these days I was thinking that testing a few of those monitors/TV's would be in order. The reason to test TV's over discreet 4K monitors is due to the idea that we are testing hardware in the context of gaming.
Now I know full well that testing monitors can end up being very hardware intensive if you do a complete job. However maybe a bit of subjective testing and minor inspections would sort good from bad. Considering the ability of TV's to act as quality monitors varies widely you may be able to weed out the obviously bad examples.
Just an idea here.
