Here is where the GeForce 8800 GT 256MB comes out very high on top with Unreal Tournament 3, although the game is texture heavy it doesn't seem to have much of an impact. Double digit gains are seen with the GeForce 8800 GT 256 MB over the other cards.

Finally we move onto Futuremark's 3DMark 2006, a favorite of some video card vendors although only a synthetic benchmark.

As with Unreal Tournament 3, 3DMark 2006 sees some big gains over the ATI cards with the GeForce 8800 GT 256MB coming in at 10873, more than 400 points higher than a Radeon HD 3870.

As far as overclocking we were able to reach 706MHz for the GPU speed and 963MHz for the RAM or 1.92GHz effective. This brought our Crysis score about three frames per second higher at 1280x1024 so not a huge % increase but in a game like Crysis those extra frames per second can definitely matter.
