About what I expected. Slightly faster than the 8800 Ultra, draws a ton of power, is extremely loud. Since it's only 7-10% faster than the 8800 Ultra at top resolutions, I expect the 9800 Ultra to take back the crown using a single GPU solution in a couple months.
The one surprise is the attractive price. $450 for a top of the line video card is excellent for the consumer. I was expecting $550-$600 for it.
