I forgot r600g still doesn't support ST3C, so you're right that it wouldn't be useful. Still, it would be nice to see that for an r300g test.
Michael, can you clarify what Phoronix's position on that is? Are you afraid of getting sued if you publish an article using ST3C? I seem to remember some a long time ago, but perhaps not.

For the most part I have only seen low-end cards in your tests lately, some of them are even passively cooled because they've had so much of the bulk of the card stripped out.

For example, you could have a drawing to give away a free HD5850 to one lucky person, randomly selected from the list of people who submitted their results for a given test suite and had their results accepted into openbenchmarking.org. Having events like this occasionally would give you a nice burst of data flooding openbenchmarking.org, and having a large data set is key for people to have confidence in the reliability of the data.

I'll use OpenBenchmarking.org (once it's launched) to see how the high end compares, I guess, because that's where I mostly shop. Unless I'm in the market for a low-power mid-sized laptop with a (small) discrete GPU, which I'm currently not, I would never, ever, ever buy a low-end GPU. For my desktops I would at a minimum get the high-end single-GPU solution, but more likely I go for the dual GPU cards out of preference. I just buy them infrequently, and use them until I need to run a program that won't run without the next-gen features

Benchmarking those games without S3TC and direct rendering is pointless, which means you must have a 32-bit linux with libtxc_dxtn.
