Firingsquad has done a rather large "shootout" of the current budget, mainstream and highend cards:

Kinda random to only see two quality tests in there, one of which didn't even include the non-AA/AF numbers to compare against.
Just goes to show that the games you review can decide how you judge a card.
In Anand's recent budget card test, the 9600SE beat the 5200Ultra in almost half of the tests, sometimes by a fair margin. In the Firingsquad tests, however, the 5200Ultra wins every single benchmark hands down.
This must show how difficult it is to create a review which fanboys of either company will admit is unbiased.

Yeah, I've been busy this week, so I didn't have time to include all tests in there (I assume you're referring to UT). As Reverend can tell you, my UT demo is kind of long.
Testing NASCAR w/o AA/AF is a pointless endeavour until the higher resolutions, all the graphics cards are CPU-limited with vanilla settings with my demo.
