Improved Graphics Cards benchmark

The graphics cards benchmark lists now more gpus!

Since the last database rework pc-kombo knew only the current generation of graphics cards. Or at least that is how it looked: Internally there were still benchmark data for the older video cards available, but without a current offer those cards were not shown in the benchmark anymore.

Today’s update changes this:

  1. It enables some older gpus to be listed in the benchmark, namely the Nvidia GeForce GTX 900 series.
  2. It adds a bunch of gaming benchmarks to improve benchmark accuracy.
  3. It splits the RX 580 into a RX 580 (8GB) and a RX 580 (4GB), as well as the GTX 1060 into a GTX 1060 (6GB) and GTX 1060 (3GB) version, to properly place these most popular gpus in the benchmark.
  4. And finally it improves the algorithm that creates the global order out of the many benchmarks used in our meta-benchmark. That change also improves how processors are judged.

As a result, the gpu benchmark now contains more older cards that are properly rated and placed with the current cards relative to their gaming performance.
