What do ATI and Nvidia suggest to use to test the advanced features of there cards?

I was wondering, when reviewers are sent boards to evaluate, does ATI or Nvidia make any recommendations as to which apps. To use? I remember reading that IHVs suggest settings to use when reviewing cards but do they also suggest apps.. In light of Dave Baumann’s question to Brent (at rage3d) …

Question: If 3DMark isn't around what are you going to use to have any understanding of the relative performances of those lovely new features that you've read all the marketing spiel about and reviewers have faithfully regurgitated?

… Would any of the reviewers who frequent this site care to answer ?

To answer my own question ........ GUNMETAL.

With those graphics? [IMO] I don't think so...

Of course, nV believe that is the game.
