I pity your blinkered view of gaming.

I'll get on with working through my backlog of high quality PC games with gameplay experiences to match anything released historically and often graphics and sound that are far better.

Console ports are lazy and don't represent the high-end of PC gaming, but that doesn't negate the other options available, whether it's indie games that match the AAA games of just a couple of years ago, the AAA games that fully exploit PC capabilities or the esoteric games that reach a market previously unavailable and genuinely do different and interesting things.

Golden age of gaming? Maybe, maybe not, but I've never had access to so many such high quality games before.

Of course benchmarks are relevant. I don't give a fuck about size, running cooler is nice but frankly I want to know whether dropping $200, $300, $897 on whichever of these cards will run the games I play at the resolution I use or whether that same cash budget would buy higher performance from Nvidia.

Running the benchmarks will help confirm that the cards and their drivers can cope with the vagaries of multiple configurations and potentially draw out certain less effective combinations.

Benchmarks for the sake of stroking yourself might only matter for Fiji but they're fucking useful for making informed purchase decisions.

You can speak your mind, as long as your mind doesn't want to troll or post racist/sexist/homophobic abuse.

Now that's just bullshit.

In a "Safe Space" men get harassed for stating simple facts. Women get applauded for being sexist towards men.

I tell you what a safe space really is: One where you can speak your mind and not be abused, silenced or forced out because you had the temerity to challenge the groupthink.

Reddit is not a safe space.

Yeah, I tend to ignore the factually incorrect and mod up the responses.

If I have 15 mod points I'll usually only use 2-3 of them to mod down, and that's normally people spamming, being genuinely hateful or unnecessarily trolling.

As an example, genuinely hateful would be using racial slurs in an aggressive and demeaning manner to insult or attack someone. On the flipside, discussing racial characteristics - even if unpopular or wrong - to try and make a point or discuss through an issue is something I'll avoid modding down, although I may mod up a response.

In action? I wont mod down, "black people are less intelligent than white people." I will mod up the reply, "All academic studies suggesting that's the case have identifiable flaws, particularly around how they measure intelligence." I will mod down "Fucking niggers are thick."

What are my personal views on relative racial intelligence? Doesn't fucking matter.
