Games matter the most, but it is difficult to obtain precise repeatable results. In the end, the picking order of how all the cards stack up under 3DMark are, with one or two flip-flops, the same as they bench in games, so I said they are useful from time to time - especially when shopping for a new card sight unseen as one tool for comparison.
I like HardOCP's method of testing them in games at their "best" settings as another tool. You can see game differences in detail. I, of course, use DH's benchies as still another tool - the simple methodology makes them very repeatable and believable (but a home user would be hard put to spend the time wiping and loading the machine without ruining their application setups and so forth...). Plus, the graphs are so cooool...
