Update: Review was faked.
Update: The thread @ xtremesystems was deleted for unknown reasons. Here is the information it contained.
TechSpot and LegionHardware's two reviews listed below are written by the exact same author. That by itself is not a problem. However, the following things also happened:
1. The author swapped the 8800GTS and 2900XT results. The author swapped 8800GT and 8800GTX results in certain cases. All "mistakes" are in NVIDIA's favor.
2. The OS is different across the review websites (Vista vs WindowsXP).
There is obvious bias going on. We need to get the word out!

Does anyone notice some similarities in the numbers between the two?
Obviously there's something shady going on. Consider the 2900XT and 8800GTS scores. They are SWITCHED in the Techspot review such that the 8800GTS performs better than the 2900XT. So which one is right? Usually the 2900XT performs better than the 8800GTS in U3 engine games, so I would suspect that the 2900XT is the higher one for this game.
Look at the other graphs too. This isn't the only page with similarities.
Bioshock:
Problem: 8800GT and 2900XT results are swapped, in NVIDIA's favor. OS is incorrect.
World in Conflict:
Problem: 8800GT and 8800GTX results are swapped, in 8800GT's favor. OS is incorrect.
Supreme Commander:
Problem: 2900XT and 8800GTS results are swapped, in NVIDIA's favor. Settings are incorrect (2xAA vs 0xAA). OS is incorrect.
Everyone, please spread the word!
