Final Fantasy XI Benchmark
This benchmark is said to use some DX9 functionality, though we not sure in what capacity. Toward the top of end of peformance, Final Fantasy starts to look CPU bound. It might be worth looking in to benchmarking the actual game now that it's out as the benchmark is limited to a maximum of 1024x768 in hi res mode.
Not that it isn't obvious, but the R420 based parts are on top once again.

Advanced features are worthless if your driver team keeps breaking them..f11 - Tuesday, May 4, 2004 - link
kinda starting to feel sorry for nvidia now. each generation they stuff their cards with more feautures than they need to, end end up with a slower and more featured card. If anyone's expecting SM3 to be a big hit, remember that the original FX line had lots of extensions to DX9 and they never really made much a difference.
