This is the aspect i do not understand. As far as i know, the line I "culled' was an aggregation of survey/bench statistics. If they were accurate in post #18, they are accurate here....If your point is , you do not like me using/quoting your findings or putting a handle on them...done. it's not as if I changed the numbers or content of your findings.I merely took your findings at your word, and used them as an example.
As I'd previously noted, the bench results were a small subset of total. In the interests of clarity these are the full results.

it's not as if I changed the numbers or content of your findings.I merely took your findings at your word, and used them as an example.
Probably more a case of culling than editing. The post reads as though it is indicative of the relative performance between two cards. It is only indicative of the performance between two cards in
five games at one resolution, whereas my earlier post in the two previous threads made the overall performance clear as well as indicating that some of the testing regimes could stand some scrutiny ( Note Hardware Heaven's testing of Batman:AC...GTX 580 SLI has an uphill struggle in
an apples-to-apples comparison...while Hardware Heaven decided to further burdon the Nvidia cards with
PhysX set to high). Questionable benches such as the HH Batman one are included in the overall figures.
