No you can not, if you have information that points to the contrary, link it. - I am sure we would all like to read it.
1) Flop numbers are typically a single precision floating point, theoretical compute performance ceiling that GPU's often don't reach. 2) There is more to rendering games than single precision floation point. 3) Don't forget about integers. 4) What about double precision and half precision? For mobile, Half precision is typically more important than your single precision Gflop number. 5) What about bandwidth? 6) What about caches? Memory capacity? 7) What about the memory controller, pipelining? 8) What about texturing performance? 9) What about geometry performance? And more? (Get the picture yet?)
Not only that, but in the GPU world it's fairly common to take a GPU with a lower Gflop number and have it outperform a GPU with a higher Gflop number. (If you wish for me to school you on this and provide examples, I would be more than happy to do so.)
So I ask you this, if you are unable to reliable use it to compare GPU's as an overall performance metric, THEN WHY USE IT AT ALL? Rather, hows about you compare GPU's for all their merits instead of just single precision floating point so you have a higher degree of relevency and accuracy?

lol, you're so confused. Try reading what I said again. Double the flops doens't necessarily mean double the performance, but double the flops definitely, by definition, means double the flops.
lol, you're hilarious.
