Well, the GTX was also slightly overclocked over the reference design. At stock, the scores would be a lot closer. AMD could certainly do better with drivers. In most slightly order games, AMD seems to win, or at least they used to (not sure how much difference those latest drivers from NVIDIA made)

The Gameplayer Article I found a little underwhealming. What about the Rage 128, Voodoo3 or Matrox G200/400?
