What resolution you game at?
8800 GS = 1280 x 800
8800 GT ,and 9600 GT = 1440 x 900
8800 GTS , 8800 GT ,and 9600 GT = 1680 x 1050
8800 GTX ,and 8800 Ultra = 1920 x 1200
9800 Series = 1920 x 1200 and Beyond

NOTE: 8800 GTX/Ultra is gonna suck if you have AA higher then 2.

Horrible negatory.
Do you know that the 8800GTX is only 4% higher performance than the 8800GTS?
also, with everything at maximum, I game at 1920x1200, and get an average of 62 FPS on COD4.
The resolution has very little effect on my performance in comparison to AA, AF, shadows/light, and SM3.0
for instance, without shaders on NFS Carbon, I get better FPS at 1600x1200 than high shaders@800x600, and thats only SM2.0.

Until you get a mix; both high resolution AND all the eye candy :D
