  I highly suspect it’ll lead to less than serious developers finding a way to trick this system.

    Valve HATES this ONE TRICK to DOUBLE YOUR FPS INSTANTLY!

    1. Render scene to texture
    2. Copy texture to frame buffer, present it, wait for vblank (x2)
    3. Repeat from step 1.

  Depends if Valve also require disclosure if “frame-generation” was used in the bench mark.

  Very easy to claim a game runs at 4K 60fps when it’s actually 720p 30fps with blurry up-scaled frames in-between.
