Well to be honest I think its doing too bad as its running on stock cooling and in what is a fairly aged rig compared to all of the Athlon 64 3xxx,X51,FX53,PIV 3.4EE, uber clocked AMD/Intel rigs knocking about.
e.g.
Swinehog
A64 3200+1 gig 3200DDR ram+X800
default Cpu speed x800pro flashed to XT core=520/mem=560 + 0verdrive enabled
x800pro=11858
aquamark3
x800pro=53,361
x800pro flashed to Xt + Overdrive enabled =56,253
I get AquamarkScore: 70888

which is a DX9 benchmark I beleive.
Also its on a rig who's OS hasn't been rebuilt in around 9 months and its got all sorts of crap on it as well as having ATI cards installed in it for most of its life. I have a RAPTOR to go in this machine pretty soon so maybe I'll get a few more points then.
You could pickup my whole rig on the MM's for about £400

and to be honest people really do need to think about their price/performance ratio, there are rigs on here that must have cost ££££ for about 5/10% more performance.
To be honest I'm happy with its performance and don't have the time or inclination to take it much further, I can play my games at high resolutions > 1280x1024 thats all I wanted from the card.
I'm sure when more people get the GT they will be sticking all sorts of whacky cooling solutions on and doing MOD's to up the voltages etc. I just don't have the time. I've been able to get better than Ultra performace by just upping a slider in windows, no hard mods, no flashes to BIOS's of dubious charatcer etc

this will appeal to those not wanting to risk such procedures.
Also Nvidia need to update their site with new drivers for the 6800/6800GT/6800Ultra, it seems newer driver versions are available (that have actually been shipped with some cards) than are availalbe on Nvidia.co.uk.
