Yeti's Gun Metal 2

With Gun Metal 2 shipping with the card being tested, it's as valid a test as any, despite being Cg optimised and helped along by NVIDIA. 52.16's still don't apply user set aniso or antialiasing, so performance can't accurately be compared.

Don't put too much stock in the Gun Metal 2 result, it doesn't exactly fly on any board, even the target platform. The Way It's Meant To Be Played? Console ports need more attention when moved to the PC before we can say that.
