There isn't enough information to go on though in that post. There just are
too many problems with the newer cards. If your system crashes every half
hour, but it works with 3D, and performs better, is that acceptable?
Simply running glxgears isn't really adequate and yet thats the kind of test
results you get with h-node and similar databases. This is why I'm not a fan
of such databases. They're too unreliable and the vast majority do not want
to have to order a part to begin with let alone return and repeat until they
find something that works.
I would much rather see a more thorough set of standards developed by an
independent body. There aren't that many people I'd consider technically
competent enough to do it though. Quite frankly there is one person I can
think of who I'd really consider pretty knowledgeable within the community
and he already does hardware testing and reviews.
