3DMark 8800 GT vs 8800 Ultra comparison.

Posted By: Steve McBarnes - 12:26:38 Mon, October 15, 2007

I am back from the vacation that I never told you about! Hurray! I spent several awesome days playing the totally sweet games that are contained within the confines of the Orange Box and watching some movies that I meant to see earlier, but never did. Now it is news time!

I found this lovely thread over at the [H]ard|Forums just now. Apparently one of the persons at Expreview has decided to (join the [H]ard|Forums and) post some 8800 GT vs 8800 Ultra comparison data in English. According to the data provided, the 8800 GT trails the Ultra by only 17% in 3DMark06. For those of you that love reading languages other than English, you can see Expreview's write up here.

Well if these results are true, the 8800 GTS (both versions) will suddenly become very pointless.

So pardon me if I'm suspicious... these results seem to me to be almost too good.

Is this true? If so, it's better than I was expecting: now I'm even more interested. Can't wait to see the prices. 14 days till release.

Impressive , but then again , according to 3DMark06 , the HD 2900 XT is about as fast as a 8800 GTX in games , which it isn't , when you turn AA on .

It's 65nmm vs 90nm and yet the 65nm card is clocked lower?
Yeh, nice comparison..

Got 10823 on Biostar 8800GT 512Mb / ASUS P5N32-E / Q6600 / 2x1G OCZ 1066/ Antec Sonata III with no over clocking whatso ever. Just running the dimms at 1:1 with q6600 and replaced stock cooling of the northbridge with active cooling and passive on the south and turned the fan on the 8800 to max before testing with 3dmark.
