i'm here to post a submission, but i agree sub 1L~ cases are OP.
(Liters^1.5)+1 might be enough to fix the issue. (then you're never dividing by a fraction).

Proposition:
(R23*TimeSpy / (Liters^1.5)+1 / 100

Examples:
petricor - (33,304*34,565 / (5^1.5)+1 / 100 = 945,090
chinevo - (12,775*2,688 / (0.251^1.5)+1 / 100 = 305,033





that aside, i set out months ago to break the PPL record with petricor's build in mind. of course, many have beaten this since - but i'm still very happy with my achievement.
i posted about this build here, and will post a full build log in coming.. months?.. as time and energy allow :)

i copied petricors hardware (MOBO, RAM, CPU, etc.) as much as possible, but fit it all into a 3.3L S4T.
(it's a 4080s not a 4090 but pretty close).

due to power and heat constraints, the result is a build that barely squeaks out over his in PPL score!

Oh I think I saw your build on Reddit or somewhere! Very nice! :)

Did anyone find out where that about 10 months delayed "promised" Linux version of 3D Mark is?
My guess is they're just trying to do a white-washing kind of thing, and never gonna deliver.

Apparently its possible to run it on Linux, but most sources report a reduction in performance of approx 15 - 25%.
My other option would be a VM with PCIe passthrough, eg. as described in the Arch Linux Wiki.

Edit: Third option would be to just assume there is a generic disparity of approx. 20%, when running 3D Mark using Wine / Proton, and thus present both the guestimate and the reduced score.
