Price to performance calculation

[icevodka]

Hi,

Im looking if anyone knows how linus calculates his price to performace on builds? i remember he had a video that explained how they calculated this but i can't seem to find it.

If anyone can please let me know how they calculate this

 

appreciate it much

thanks

I think they just divide the dollar by the "full build" price

 

Ie, if it's a $1000 pc, and it produces 100fps, it's $10 per frame

 

While if you only consider a gpu by itself (say, a $400 gpu), then it's $4 per frame

 

It depends on how you wanna view things

 

Why do they do it that way? Let's imagine a scenario:

$200 gpu: 20 frames, $10 per frame

$250 gpu: 23 frames, $10.8 per frame, slightly worse value by itself

 

But if you building a $1000 system:

$200 GPU: $50 per frame

$250 GPU: $43.47 per frame, becomes slightly better value overall

 

So if you're building a full system, you might wanna consider other system cost in your calc, if you're upgrading only GPU, you can use the GPU cost divided by frame as measurement
