But I don't understand the whole purpose of this at all.

also will BF4 beta find a place in your GPU test suite. given its one of the biggest titles this holiday and buyers would like to know how R9 290X performs in BF4 or maybe we can look forward to a BF4 benchmarking article on the latest cards after the launch of the game in Oct end / early Nov.
Performance, power consumption and price were not given to reviewers.

BF4 Beta will not be added to the test suite due to my refusal to use A) Beta versions of games B) a game whose performance is currently tied at the hip to an internet connection. It will be added (single player) to the new testing suite in December which will also include a full test system refresh (IVB-E, Win8.1, etc.).
