" Conclusions
With price tags of $550 and $725 respectively, the Geforce 8800 GTX and Ultra are anything but cheap. That's a lot of money to invest into 3D gaming. Under DirectX 10, these graphics processors really fly. While their performance lead over the Radeon 2900 XT and the Geforce 8800 GTS was not as pronounced under Windows XP/DirectX 9, they offer between 50 and 100 percent more performance than these cards under Vista/DirectX 10. Additionally, the Geforce 8800 Ultra boasts much shorter load times in Lost Planet and Bioshock. We can only guess how well the GTX and Ultra will be able to handle upcoming titles such as Hellgate London or Crysis. However, these cards pack a major punch and still have some performance reserves. "
Glad I was sold a Ultra now
