The test platform for video cards is in serious need of updating. Unfortunately, that takes a lot of time and effort to determine which games are best for benchmarking. Once Windows 7 hits along with the first DirectX 11 games next year we will likely switch to a new set of benchmarks. The HD 5870 will likely outperform everything but the GTX 295 in most cases.
