It is rather inconclusive of course, almost irrelevant at the moment - we can't really garner much from DX10 as they won't spend much time developing drivers while it's a platform that's hardly used. As more titles are released, both drivers will improve.
That said, it's fair to say the HD2900XT is a much better performer (compared to the 8800s) in DX10 than it is in DX9.
I would still consider that inconclusive. What that link shows is that in an Ati sponsored game, ATI cards are better at Dx10 than Nvidia ones. If there were 2 or 3 games where it was faster in all cases so far, I would consider that to be an indication that ATI may have the DX10 advantage, but you wil always find at least 1 game where the overall slower card is faster than its competition.
Mind you - I would say that - I've just bought an 8800 GTS
I was hoping it would be a bit faster TBH as I upgraded from an ATI 9800 Pro.
After all, it is about 4 years newer and the same price!
