    There is no thread for Offtopic PC hardware so I made one..

    I'll start with the wonders of GPU Boss voting that the GeForce 210 is better than an R9 FuryX. My mind is blown

    I used to like GPU Boss and CPU Boss, but currently I use gpu.userbenchmark.com and cpu.userbenchmark.com
    Have you used this website? Do you think the results are correct there?

    Its a completely broken algorithm, because it has much much lower power it adds that to the score as it would with any other card and for some reason thats enough to out weigh the fact every other spec is in the Fury X's favour. It basically means if a card is low power enough it will just win no matter what you put it against.

    Overall the site is terribly broken and unreliable too, like the Metro: Last Light benchmark on the bottom of that page too where the 210 is apparently getting a slightly higher frame rate than the Fury X...

    GPU userbenchmark its a much better choice, even though its based on canned benchmarks its much closer to reality.

    overall its best to just pick based on gaming performance (in the games you play)
