9800xt does support all the features required to bench, interestingly the nvidia 6*** line uses ps 3.0, the only advantage of 3.0 over 2.0 is that it can do the same thing in fewer passes. Strange then that currently the highest placed nvidia card was 16th the last time i looked, with an ati whitewash especially with amd 64 power as well.
New score for me btw,
