I accidentally swapped the GeForce 8800 GTS and Radeon HD 2900XT around which was quickly fixed last week. This is no way had an impact on the review as those cards were simply there for comparisons sake and that is half the reason why the mistake occurred as I did not correctly check the graphs. The data itself was correct, I just swapped two labels around by mistake. Thank you Hi Robert,

We just got notification about this and we are looking into it. I carefully review every one of the reviews that go up on TechSpot, and while it is possible a mix-up could have happened, I don't see the conclusion changing at all which is what matters the most. Being so pressured about posting these articles on time (just so we can deliver the information to you ASAP), we are prone to some human error. Unlike comments on that forum you mentioned, there is no bias towards any of the two companies, simply put the 8800gt is better but temporarily unavailable and a bit more expensive. The ATI cards look really good considering price and the fact that you can get one now, or even two and go Crossfire. For some reason everybody including us seem to agree, now you tell me where is the bias? Thanks for the feedback Robert.

Some h3870 results were swapped with 2900xt's results, same goes for the GT ones.
