Have recently bought a new athlon64 based shuttle: an sn85g4v2 with 1gb corsair cas2 ram, audigy2, 3400+ etc. I also managed to get my hands on an x800 xt pe, which scored an admirable ~12,450 in 3dmark03 and ~25,500 in 3dmark01. However, atitool revealed that it was artifacting at stock speeds, so I've just today sent it back for a replacment. However...

The 6800GTs are becoming pretty widely available now, and I'm thinking of maybe jacking in the xt and going for one of these instead. The latest performance increases along with SM3 support seems to be turning heads. Has anybody done a comparison of the GT with the new or latest nvidia drivers to the XT (and not the PRO). Would I be in effect 'downgrading' my card by replacing it with a GT?? Sadly the Ultra is out of the question in my SFF box...

Cheers! :)
 
why is the Ultra out of question? ASUS makes a single slot ultra, and people have run ultras in shuttles without problems
 
Now that I didn't know...

Is that the Asus V9999 Ultra Deluxe GeForce 6800 Ultra? I'm still concerned about running a card like that in a shuttle case due to it's power demands, and doesn't this card still sport two power molexes?
