The GTX 295 is actually no.1 atm - from TomsHardware (also mentioned in another recent thread):

:
Nvidia's GeForce GTX 295 with SLI-on-a-card is the most powerful single graphics card on the planet. With two attached GeForce GTX 275 cards that have been merged, the GeForce GTX 295 offers very notable gains over the Radeon HD 4870 X2 in the great majority of game titles. Even more impressive is that it does so while consuming less power than ATI's flagship card, which is no small feat.

This is the fastest single graphics card you can get. To get more performance, you'd have to look to extreme solutions such as multiple GeForce GTX 285s in SLI or Radeon HD 4870 X2s in CrossFire, but unless you have a 30" monitor, that would likely be a gratuitous waste of money.
It's hard to believe that a card that costs ~£150 less can beat it in that one benchmark you linked to.

I'm only going by the Passmark benchmarks which boasts a bigger library of tests than other websites. It may be due to the individual testers being biased or the 3D fps test itself being biased. If I had both of these, I'd see for myself but I'm stuck with a Nvidia 8200M and a ATI Radeon 2400 HD
