Neat. It's going to be interesting how they will solve the issue of different quality settings - I don't care about FPS at "ultra" settings, usually it's more important how the FPS are at low settings before you have to take desperate measures like turning down the resolution, completely turning off antialiasing, using upscaling etc. that have an extremely negative effect on graphics fidelity.

Also, two games running at an average of 60FPS might give very different experiences depending on how consistent the FPS are.

Thinking about it, they’ll probably use a law of large numbers and average out similar specs.

It will probably reveal which crowd is bigger: the high frame rate crowd or the high quality crowd.
