Leaked as in news of there actually being a HL2. The head of Nvidia spilled the beans about the game before they were supposed to. Valve is very pissed about that.

"Better go read soem threads at Beyond3d and some of the latest interviews with the Valve guys. The Entire DX9 developent of HL2 was done on the Radeon cards. Also the Nv35 is screwed for FSAA in that game. But most importantly becuase the Nv30/35 has flat out screwed up Pixel and Vertex shaders it cant run the HQ HL2 shaders worth a DAMN. In fact it was stated in reference at B3d that the Lead Valve guys says that the 9800pro runs the DX9 shaders for HL2 5x-10X FASTER than the 5900U.
This is the bottom line truth. Its only going to get worse with future games that use even more shaders. Unless of course Nvidia gets away with even more application detection and IQ hacking than they are now."
What a bunch of religious CRAP! Valve is pissed at NVIDIA for leaking HL2. Any of your so called "truth" is related to that!
The only performance difference is that NV3x is better than R3x0 at running long complex shaders and R3x0 is better than NV3x at running really short, simple
shaders.
If you say it's only going to get worse with future games, then you must really mean with the R3x0.
