P Phrantic In Runtime Messages 421 Jan 15, 2007 #12 How is the 8600 Ultra thought to fight up against the 7900GT? Worth the upgrade to DX10, or no performance difference really? I recall the 6800 Ultra being better than the 7600GS... The price sounds great but I'm curious how well it would perform.

Which is why I can't wait for the benchmarks. Nvidia went the Unified Shader route, so there's no way to compare the specs with previous cards.
