What would happen to single pcb "Dual GPU" submissions?
I think they'd become extinct from hwbot, IF, tri-card and quad-card setups trump a single "dual gpu" card at the upper range.
In essence you'd kill off any sort of single "Dual GPU" submission.
The money gap will always be there.
Faster cards cost more
slower cards cost less
This idea might shorten that margin but it doesn't resolve it.
I think the biggest thing is PARTICIPATION. Seeing boints awarded for any benchmark is like crack. One hit and you're an addict. A few more and you're a junky. Don't we all want everyone to be junkies?
To take a page from the scumbag, dirtbag, lowest beings on the planet, horrid, miserable, soul less, street drug dealers........... give people a hit, get them hooked, fuel the fever.
The only way to do this is by finding a way to bring boints to those with even mediocre scores that are above the average of a stock run system.
How? I'm not sure. Maybe creating a base line score average for each generation leap. Taking base line scores from the top tear cards from x,y and z vendors/manufacturers and average them together, then award boints upward from there?
