Description

As its still very recent there is no immediate cause for concern, especially with the current memory crisis stopping most GPU releases/upgrades, however we should consider how we want to handle data moving forward.

Looking at other providers there is reasonable ways to rank the GPU's however they dont have all the data.

The one I'm most interested in is: https://browser.geekbench.com/gpu-benchmarks.

This provides a rank/score as well as similar provider data.

It does remove the "FPS" data point however which was the primary method used to calculate tiers.

We need to resolve a new formula for this

Contributor guide
