GeForce 8800 Ultra vs GeForce GTX 560 Ti
Intro
The GeForce 8800 Ultra has a GPU clock speed of 612 MHz, and the 768 MB of GDDR3 memory runs at 1080 MHz through a 384-bit bus. It also is made up of 128 SPUs, 64 Texture Address Units, and 24 ROPs.Compare those specs to the GeForce GTX 560 Ti, which comes with clock speeds of 822 MHz on the GPU, and 1002 MHz on the 1024 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 384 SPUs as well as 64 Texture Address Units and 32 ROPs.

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the largest amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.
Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second.
Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card can possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max 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
