Maybe, but it's such a huge difference....

At Anand the 6600gt beat the x800gt by 16fps (over 50%), while at Firingsquad they have the ATI winning by 2 fps. If it is just a different loop, then these benchmarks are completely worthless...

We made a custom demo in the Mars City level of the game, with Ultra Quality settings turned on.

Since id recommended that setting only be used for 512MB cards due to its use of uncompressed textures the 6600GT takes a big hit since it has about half the memory bandwidth of the X800GT.

Yeah, if that was the case (numbers varying that much in diff. parts of a game) then no benchmarks would ever be worth a damn. Must be something else going on here. Someone may have screwed up.
