A graphics card's benchmark performance is the best indicator of its immediate impact, and the GeForce 6800 Ultra does not disappoint. Using beta drivers, we subjected the card to our 3D benchmarks. The result? The GeForce 6800 Ultra turned in the fastest performance to date. The most telling number is its score of 100 frames per second (fps) on the 1,600x1,200 Unreal Tournament 2003 test. While this isn't the most demanding test available, the roughly 40fps increase over both Nvidia's previous high-end GeForce FX 5950 Ultra and ATI's top-of-the-line Radeon 9800XT cards shows that, especially for those who surround the 6800 Ultra with a fast processor and other performance components, the 6800 will deliver games played at the highest image quality settings with the smoothest frame rates we've seen yet.
