Very very nice job!

and your benches are especially useful as most of us who do benchmark rarely test beyond 16x12
Conclusion
The 8800 Ultra provides some substantial performance gains in modern games and it truly shines in older games when using 16xS, often meaning the difference between playable framerate and a slideshow.
curious ... please give us a
640GTS vs. Ultra price vs. performance comment. i am guessing if one runs at 16x12 or below, the GTS is the best bang-for-buck ... at higher resolutions, the GTX or Ultra is a "must", price be damned.
Finally, did you ever consider GTS sli - or didn't want to deal with noise/heat issues?
