The Ultra barely has 700 marks on the GT and those two stay glued to each other throughout all three settings. The plain 6800 drops off a bit heavier at 1600x1200 than the other two, with its base performance down on the rest from the beginning, due to architecture.

The X800 XT PE's performance converges on the PRO's at the upper setting with the 6800 Ultra and GT both beating the pair of X800s.

The plain 6800's performance is somewhat like a 9800XT's, for reference.

The plain 6800 has a little scrap with the X800 PRO at the initial settings and the other three tested boards fight a little further up the performance ladder. At 1600x1200 it all bunches up with the Ultra and GT coming out on top. The plain 6800 trails by a fair margin at that upper setting, but still offers up performance well in excess of anything an NV38 or R360 could possibly hope to offer.
