The Asus W90Vp is one of the most powerful desktop solutions we’ve seen to date and puts in very impressive performance across productivity and gaming tests. Considering the combination of quality, performance and value on offer the feature rich W90Vp is certainly a machine worth serious consideration if you are looking for a powerful desktop replacement. It is also supplied with a healthy bundle including a rucksack and a media centre remote with a USB IF signal extender. We just hope Asus offer this soon in the UK with a fast quad core!

three things I can think of:
1) NBR used the OC settings when they ran the game, said so themselves, and that would help a little.
2) That was just a random screenshot that they chose to show you. That may not be the average frame rate and could very well even be the max they were able to achieve. The NBR review isn't bad, it's just not as exact as the other.
3) The CPUs are different. DriverHeavens uses a 2.66 T9550 and NBR has a 2.8 T9600 which they then went and OC'd. Some small differences, but they may change performance a bit.

I'm also wondering what drivers were used in each of the reviews. Looks like very old Catalyst 8.11 for the DriverHeaven review.

Well CPU doesn't affect much,i mean it wont make such a huge difference,that one can run it well on gamer settings and the other one struggles even on mainstream settings.
As u mentioned the driver may caused the problem,since its old.
Here is anandtech review:

They tested Crysis(Not warhead),i think if driver heaven used a newer driver then the results maybe alot better,since i remember that 8.12 gave Crysis a nice boost,
