Intel is Hiding Data from Us: What GPU Benchmarks Don't Tell You

Sponsor: Buy Thermaltake’s Tower 100 Mini-ITX case on Amazon (https://geni.us/TuAASGt)
Intel showed us some secret GPU data, opening the door to how GPU reviews can be better as tools and benchmarking methods continue to improve. This deep-dive into frametimes and frame rendering helps to educate on what’s really missing from the picture when talking about GPU performance. We’ve been covering frametimes (or frame-to-frame intervals) for at least 6-7 years now, but the methods and tools are continuing to advance. We also talk about Intel Smooth Sync (and Intel Speed Sync, briefly), which are new software tools for Intel Arc GPUs. We’ll be reviewing these tools separately from the Arc GPU hardware.

Grab a LIMITED EDITION GN Foil CyberSkeleton shirt! We will ONLY MAKE 1 RUN of these, and our limited foil shirts always sell out fast. We’ve only made 4 limited foil shirts before, so this is the time to continue or start your collection. You get a high-quality, computer part-themed shirt and also support our reporting and content production: https://store.gamersnexus.net/products/limited-edition-foil-skeletal-cotton-t-shirt-with-pc-component-design
