Well....E-PeenMark 06 is finally being replaced...by 3dMark Vantage. Judging by the screens, it's going to be one hell of an impressive bench to watch, but the Vista exclusivity is putting a lot of people off. Add to that that you have to pay $7 to run the benchmark more than once, and I question how successful this is going to be.

Anyway, german website PCGamesHardware.de got hold of a copy, and ran every modern card through the benchmark. Amazingly, the 9800GTX is actually beaten by the 8800GTX and the 8800 Ultra! Looks like Nvidia messed up on that one, but I've heard rumours of a new driver that should, ahem, 'fix' that discrepancy. Let's just hope it's not a repeat of the nonsense in 2003!

Anyway, here are the links:
