GeForce 8800 Ultra vs GeForce GTX 560 Ti
Intro
The GeForce 8800 Ultra has a core clock frequency of 612 MHz and a GDDR3 memory frequency of 1080 MHz. It also uses a 384-bit bus, and makes use of a 90 nm design. It features 128 SPUs, 64 Texture Address Units, and 24 ROPs.Compare all that to the GeForce GTX 560 Ti, which comes with a clock frequency of 822 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1002 MHz. It also uses a 256-bit bus, and makes use of a 40 nm design. It is made up of 384 SPUs, 64 Texture Address Units, and 32 ROPs.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.
Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second.
Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.

wow did you not know the ultra has a 384-bit mem bus and the gtx has 320-bit, you have read the wrong info and its very misleading, I own three of these ultra super ko and 1 is around 5% slower 2 beat it and 3 kill it, the weaknes is the ultras are dx10 cards and 2006 models
