If we count from the release date of the first revision of this benchmark (without SE), then it is already more than fifteen years old and, of course, it does not reflect the real performance of video cards for a long time. For example, you may get the false impression that the 6800 Ultra is only 1.8x slower than the GTX 285, which is far from the case.
However, it can be noted that the 8800 GTX and 9800 GTX are almost on par, and the 8800 Ultra Extreme is slightly ahead of the 9800 GTX+ 765M.

First DirectX 9-Futuremark benchmark demonstrates a greater difference in the performance of the considered video cards, which is especially noticeable at high resolutions when anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering are activated. If at standard settings the GTX 285 gains only four times more points than the 6800 Ultra, then in the highest quality mode it is already almost seven times faster.
Interestingly, in the standard mode the 8800 GTX and 8800 Ultra Extreme are somewhat inferior to the 9800 GTX and 9800 GTX+, but noticeably outperform their opponents when the resolution is increased in the maximum image quality mode. The obvious reason for this behavior is the large bandwidth of the memory bus of video cards with the G80 graphics processor.

In a newer version of the benchmark, solutions based on G92 and G92b look more profitable than their opponents with a G80 GPU, and even in the most difficult mode, the 8800 GTX fails to catch up 9800 GTX. In turn, the 8800 Ultra Extreme is saved by fast memory — albeit slightly, but it still outperforms the 9800 GTX+ 765M, although at standard settings the difference between these video cards was an impressive 15.7% in favor of the latter.

In the final benchmark of the 3DMark series, which does not require DirectX 10 support, the scores of the 6800 Ultra and GTX 285 in standard mode differ by 6. 7 times. However, it should be taken into account that the final result in 3DMark 06 is also affected by the results of processor tests, so in this case it would be most correct to compare the results of graphics subtests.

In the 3DMark 06 graphics subtests, the GTX 285 is already 7.15-8.37 times faster than the 6800 Ultra, while the 8800 Ultra Extreme lags behind the 9800 GTX a bit.
The SM2.0 and HDR/SM3.0 scoring charts really show how much of a jump in performance the 8800 GTX has made. Even at a resolution of 1280 x 1024, without activating anti-aliasing and filtering, the new product is ahead of the previous single-processor flagship 7900 GTX more than doubled. To be fair, it should be noted that at one time the difference between the 6800 Ultra and FX 5950 Ultra in 3DMark 05 was more impressive.
Due to architectural limitations, anti-aliasing and HDR cannot be used simultaneously on GeForce 6 and GeForce 7 video cards, the most difficult mode, which allows comparing DirectX 9 and DirectX 10 generation Nvidia video cards in all 3DMark 06 subtests, is the anisotropic filtering mode.

At 1920 x 1200 resolution and 16X anisotropic filtering, the difference between the 6800 Ultra 512MB and GTX 285 reaches 11 times, and let me remind you, less than five years have passed between the release of these video cards. I wonder what will be the difference in current benchmarks between the GTX 1080 and GTX 680?
As for the comparison of 8800 Ultra Extreme and 9800 GTX, in the overall standings 3DMark 06 video cards are on a par, while 9800 GTX+ remains out of reach.

DirectX 10-benchmark 8800 Ultra Extreme is noticeably faster than 9800 GTX+ 765M, and the 8800 GTX frequencies are already enough to slightly outperform the 9800 GTX. And even the GTX 285 is only 60-68% faster than the 8800 Ultra Extreme in terms of GPU score.

The results in this test look a little odd. If the superiority of the 8800 Ultra Extreme over the 9-series models800 does not seem surprising, the modest advantage of the GTX 280 and GTX 285 over their predecessors raises some doubts about the adequacy of the results.
