,
I don't really see your argument being valid.
They switch to the latest and greatest Intel gaming offering each time.
You hate AMD?
New GPU's are going PCI 4.0 and should be tested on a supported platform. I doubt I'm the only curious one.
It's not like they can't still test on the old rig also.
They retest all the cards on the new bed.
Why would any reviewer want to torcher himself and have to repeat the test all over again on an AMD bed when it will show about the same thing?
The only valid point i see in having 2 beds, is if the user wanted to test PCI-E 3.0 vs 4.0
Then yeah, the tester would need to test all generations of video card on the 3.0 using the SAME CPU, and then test it again on the 4.0.
This would lead to a nightmare if s/he had to do it a third time on an Intel platform.
And why are you asking if i hate AMD? what does this have anything to do with AMD when im saying the tester would be rotting his time repeating all the tests over and over again.
Maybe i should ask you the same question in reverse what is wrong with the current tests? are you salty they are not done on AMD?
I can pretty much tell you if a gpu shows 10% performance boost over GPU 2, then on BOTH platforms AMD / Intel it will probably be the same if you keep the same bed, unless again, your changing the bed to pci-e 3.0 vs pci-e 4.0.
Maybe your not aware but I was an independant tester for a lot of hardware like watercooling and older Intel chips so i am fully aware of of methodologies and where people complain that your testing is flawed, and once people start pointing it out to you, and picks up motion, it will ruin your reputation as a tester.
This is why Hardware Unboxed also always sticks to ONE bed and they want feedback before they waste time reduing the GPU data on the link Biostud gave.
Its just a waste of time unless your doing again, that single gpu comparison on pci-e 3.0 vs pci-e 4.0 trying to keep to as close as the same core hardware as possible.... meaning same ram same cpu only different board, or better yet if the board has an option to go pci-e 3.0 to 4.0 enabled.
