Performance in First-Person 3D Shooters

Battlefield 2142

The GeForce 8800 Ultra, in either version, does not have any advantage over the GeForce 8800 GTX in the standard 4:3 resolutions. There is a small growth of the minimum speed, from 83-85 to 86-90fps, which cannot have any effect on your gaming experience.

The GeForce 8800 Ultra gains a bigger advantage in the most resource-consuming 1920x1200 mode, mostly due to the increase in the memory bandwidth, but this still has no effect on your gaming comfort because the ordinary GeForce 8800 GTX delivers enough performance even at 1920x1200 with enabled full-screen antialiasing.

The CPU does not limit the speed of the graphics subsystem even in low resolutions, yet it is clear that the XFX GeForce 8800 Ultra Extreme is just slightly better than the standard model of the same card with the official frequencies. Anyway, the new card is not far better than the GeForce 8800 GTX and delivers good performance in resolutions up to 1600x1200 as well.

The min speed is insufficient for comfortable play at 1920x1200. By the way, the GeForce 8800 Ultra is ahead of the Radeon HD 2900 XT in the highest resolution, but the gap is a mere 2fps.
