I looked at the link you gave and downloaded the program that was the (the 4th revision of it) and tried on my GTX 460 and an old 8800 GT and compared it to the results that was posted and something does not add up with the test program! Before I learned of all of this, I ran some other tests using a stress program and gDEBugger and found that the GTX 460 was much faster than 8800 GT (about 10 times faster under stress). I also tested it on most of my high end terrain and it ran much faster (about the biggest texture based thing I have) even though I don't have figures for it yet. I'm not saying that there is not a problem, but I'm a bit confused when one test I do contadicted by another and that the numbers for that other test and the conclusion seem spect to me!
