So all the other reviews comparing the two cards were wrong?

No, All previous reviews show that the 2900XT 1GB is not the mosty powerful card in Single-Card configurations. AMD say their performance part (Vs 8800GTX/Ultra) is their Crossfire Configuration. So to prove the point they made sure that the 2x1GB 2900XT CF with Catalyst 7.7 (July Drivers) was ran against the 2x 768MB 8800GTX on drivers dated April, where SLI wasn't running due to a problem with Vista!
Very dubious results indeed.
The true performance would be to review the 2x2900XTs against the best Nvidia cards, which would be 2x8800GTX Ultras with the latest BETA drivers for both. Now I can tell you straight away that the Nvidia config would absolutely bugger the AMD cards!
