I seem to recall an article on Toms Hardware about some new drivers being released for the Geforce (1 not 3) that provided "incredible" performance gains in Quake2. Other benchmark progs showed very little or no benefit at all, but Quake2 benchmarks went up by quite a bit. I don't know if this article is still available, and yes, I could be wrong, but it seems everyone is lambasting ATI for something others have done. Namely, creating drivers aimed at a specific benchmark. Is it wrong? Yes, if you want to see the true performance of the card in a particular prog. Should they be getting this hammered for it? No, I don't believe so.

BTW, the benchmark may have been ZDNets' old graphics benchmark prog....
