Today is a great day for all those waiting GF100 show offs as some of the first benchmarks leaked in vimeo and were later removed from there, but not before people managed to upload them in youtube and the like. There is only one real benchmark – Far Cry 2, made at the highest possible settings with AA and AI on, and the GF100 averaged over 80 FPS at 1920×1200 resolution.
