Phoronix: Finding The Perfect PC Components For Your Favorite Game Or Workload

With the latest code push today on OpenBenchmarking.org has been one of the most sought after features of making it easier to find the best graphics card for your favorite game, the optimal processor for your computational tasks, and other workloads measured via our open-source, cross-platform benchmarking software...

Awesome. Frikkin awesome.

Awesome. Frikkin awesome.

Thanks! More is still coming though

I have been wanting something like this for a long time!

Great!

Before on the old OpenBenchmarking.org there was something similar but just a text list with data classified as low/medium/high performance, some experiments with heat graphs for showing popularity and performance, and some other stuff.

This new way is cleaner and made possible (in terms of being efficient) by the new (faster) server for doing more realtime analytics, all of the PTS code reworking I did during PTS6.0 to significantly speed-up result parsing/analyzing, the rewritten pts_Graph, etc. And with the latest PTS / OB code-base being so API complete, was just about 100 lines of code I whipped up today for it to work on all test profiles, etc. But yeah still tweaking some things to make some improvements.

Some more optimizations made to hopefully pickup a greater range of results now that previously may have been ignored.

Awesome, can you put also desktop performance (such as gtkperf) or browser rendering benchmark pls.. I'm not into gaming but these things are important for me. Many dedicated graphic card have mediocre browsing experience (esp on 4k) compared to intel >haswell iGPU.

GtkPerf is already in PTS....

Browser benchmarking can come if anyone has a script to automate it fully, etc. Otherwise waiting until I get a company sponsoring me to work on a proper automated browser test harness.

Awesome Michael.
Some Feedback:
- The ultimate quality of xonotic shows two times here but with totally different results: http://openbenchmarking.org/showdown/pts/xonotic
- It is not clear to me if one bar shows only one result of one system or of many different systems with the same graphics card. If one bar shows more than one system it would be nice to know how many systems are included in one bar - e.g. show the count as n=? next to SE +/-
- It would be nice to optionally group some results to reduce the amount of bars, like group all HD 7950 results of 2015 to one bar. Of course, just grouping all HD7950 results of all time would make no sense because of driver developement.
- If grouping is too complicated maybe just filtering by date would be sufficient
