There's no such thing as a 512MB 8800 Ultra. You're either looking at a G92 8800 series card (in which case the 9800GTX is better) or you've got the wrong RAM amount listed. The 8800 Ultra is actually a superior card at higher resolutions from what I can remember, but it also cost nearly twice as much as the 9800GTX.

If you're gaming on a 24" or greater monitor, yes. Below that, the architectural changes and clock speeds of the 9800GTX give it an advantage. Not to mention its power draw is much lower than the Ultra.

Go for the 9800gtx simply because it is far more efficient and performs similarly.

Ya, you should note down what moniter you have and what your other system specs are.

Try "Googling" some benchmark reviews for both graphics card to see which one suits you the best.

Personally, I would pick up the 8800 Ultra out of the two. But, if you can try and consider the 9800GTX+.

They from what I have seen are neck and neck most times.. The ultra may beat it in certain tests.. But the Ultra draws way more energy as well as most likely produces more heat.
