Here's some more juicy graphics card news from EXPreview. The site managed to get their hands on a GeForce 8800 GT 512MB this week and compared it to the GeForce 8800 Ultra.

They used the following test system:

Intel Q6600 overclocked to 3600MHz (400MHz x 9)
NVIDIA 650i Ultra based motherboard
DDR2-800 memory running at 5-5-5-15
Windows XP SP2
NVIDIA ForceWare 167.26 drivers

Here are the results. They ran 3DMark06 with a 1280 x 1024 pixel resolution, 4x AA and 8x AF:

3DMark06	8800 GT 512MB	8800 Ultra 768MB
3DMark score	9648	11611
SM 2.0 score	3982	4643
HDR/SM 3.0 score	3343	4391
CPU score	5544	5529

The scores look pretty good if you take in mind that the 8800 GT will cost much less than the Ultra card.
