Also note individual game tests, not just the overall average: in the heavier-duty games it is certainly pulling ahead, and that's where it matters.
I stated a few times in this thread that hardwarecanucks lost my respect when they gave out results in the nvidia 'big bang 2' that contradicted everyone else, then argued that the games they used were not given to them by nvidia.

Anandtech blew that out of the water when they said nvidia tried to force those games on reviews.

Something like that anyway, my old failing memory sometimes gets the better of me.

So the new fermie results they are showing, don't help matter in my trust in them.
