From Tom's Hardware--excellent comparative article that answers the following questions:
  • What game do you really need a Geforce 8800 Ultra for?
  • Is the Radeon HD 2900 XT faster than the Geforce 8800 GTS?
  • Does the current generation of cards have enough power for the next wave of games?
  • How stable are the current graphics drivers and are there any compatibility problems?
FPS results can be found in the chart below.

Oh, and excuse please if this link was previously posted!

I am pretty happy with my sli ultras.  I am not very happy with the fatality sound card.  It has some problems with hissing and such with the 8800 ultras running.  ALSO if you use Linux the only sound card creative makes that is not compatible with it is Fatality.

I do have a question though.  My liquid cooled system has several air bubbles throughout the system, do I need to add more fluid?  I know what has happened, the fluid is out gassing here because my atmospheric pressure is so much higher than palo alto.  I just want to know if I need to add more fluid if Alex could answer that it would be great.  There are no spots in the liquid that are truly gaps just a small 1 mm bubble accumulates and microbubbles are inside all of the return tubes and the reservoir.

if I remember correctly, the air bubbles will work themselves out.  Sometimes it takes 3-4 days, sometimes longer.
 
I use the Fatal1ty and I've never encountered the hiss.  But I have read in forums that it is resolved by driver updates. 
But other than that, call us and we'll figure something out.
