Best place for current benchmarks?

Hello,

I'm looking for a good current benchmark page. I used to go to Tom's hardware till I found out how inaccurate their numbers often are. I'd like something like Tom's VGA guide but I'd like it to be current and accurate. Ideally I'd see benchmarks for games like FEAR or other more taxing games in there as well. I like that fact that Tom's lists many cards, not just the latest two and I like the fact they show different res and different features turned on I just want something that gives more accurate information. I haven't used them in a year or so when I saw some grossly inaccurate information and many posts on their forums about it and they never corrected the numbers even though many people also e-mailed them about it.

Thanks
 
Thanks - actually I was looking for things like how many FPS would an X1950 vs. a 8800gt vs... get on FEAR at 1600 x 1200 w 4aa and 8AF or crysis etc.

I know the 8800GT will score higher, I'm looking for something a little more specific and of course I'm not looking at just those two cards but I'd like them in the mix as I'm familiar with the performance of both.
 
Tom's is the only list/comparison that I know of. For the most thorough benchmarks overall, I think http://www.computerbase.de generally has the best. They tend to bench with high quality settings and with/without AA/AF, which gives you a better assessment of what a card can do.

A bit off topic, but AT's review of the the 8800GT was very disappointing. Not only was the title very sensationalist NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT: The Only Card That Matters, but the benchmarks don't appear to have been conducted with AA/AF, which is where the higher end G80 based cards have tended to pull away from the G92 based 8800GT. Benchmarks with and without AA/AF would have shown a much more accurate picture of where the 8800GT stands in the current NVIDIA line up.
