Anyone know where a benchmark-backed list of the top video cards can be found?

I generally go to passmark.com but I am wondering how accurate that list is. Anyone else have a favorite resource for this sort of thing?

their current top ten list looks like this:
#1 GeForce GTX 680
#2 GeForce GTX 670
#3 GeForce GTX 580
#4 Radeon HD 7970
#5 GeForce GTX 690 (Shouldnt this be number 1?)
#6 GeForce GTX 660 Ti
#7 7900M MOD - Radeon HD 7970M
#8 Radeon HD 7950
#9 GeForce GTX 570
#10 GeForce GTX 480
 
Thats a pretty loaded question..

its not something you really ask anymore... games can be so vendor specific nowdays that you really have to look at the games you want or games that matter and then ask the question.

if you use BF3 (like http://www.techspot.com/review/603-best-graphics-cards/page4.html)
then you go

7970
680
670/7950
660
7870


if you use borderlands 2 its
680
7970
670
660
580/7950


call of duty (http://www.techspot.com/review/603-best-graphics-cards/page5.html)

7970
680
670
7950
660

Crysis 2

7970
680
7950/670
7870
660

and so on and so forth.
IMO

if you sum up all of the benchmarks and all of the testing you'd probably see a aggregate listing like this

1. 7970
2. 680
3. 670/7950

etc.. etc..

not even going to guess at xfire/sli since each of them have their own specific issues that aggregating the list would be pointless.

Find the games you play most and read and ask how the experience is

that is they way i would rank them. amd has made some great improvements with their drivers.

from what ive heard from people, they have made insane improvements in the driver department since they stopped forcing releases once a month and just release drivers when they're ready now
 
1. 7970
2. 680
3. 670
4. 7950

Single GPU with latest drivers on both sides its generally the above, certainly specific games can change the order.
