Uh, did you notice that the machines they were being
run on were pretty different as well? That 9700
allowed a significantly slower machine to outperform
the 9200 by a good margin, even though the 9200 was
dealing with a much lower resolution and had a
significantly better CPU backing it up.

The 9700 and 9600 were on apparently similar computers
(same processor speed). But the 9700 beat the 9600,
even though it was dealing with 1600X1200 (1.92
million) and the 9600 was dealing with 1280X800 (1.024
million) - the computer with the 9700 was dealing with
nearly twice as many pixels.

Because most games are in 3D, and gamers are the ones
most typically interested in these benchmarks.
