A Look Inside the Labs of Asus

They had their latest dual chip 6800GT and 6800Ultra cards on the test beds (only two boxes full of which had passed quality control at that point,) and so grabbed some benchmarks while we were there."

    This is definitly NOT research. It is development - and that only a very low level. The GFX chip manufacturers usually ship their chips with a reference board design. Most gfx card manufacturers just take this reference design and tweak it a little - often just to accomodate a better fan or something like that. The cheaper brands just reproduce the reference design. That is why all the nonbrand cards are alike.
