That's true, unfortunately. When there are no clearly defined rules of "playing fair" or "cheating", as is in the case of image quality, the whole thing becomes a playground for fanboys.

It is for certain that AMD lowered the default AF quality in 6800 series cards and this added a 5% performance boost. I can't even think of the responses if Nvidia had done that.
