I was expecting Crysis to run in SLI mode with the 169.21 Forceware drivers, but for whatever reason, they did not seem to want to deliver insane performance. Oh well. There are still some interesting numbers to look at.
It looks like we have a winner folks. The winner is the new GTS. The Asus EN8800 GTS truly rises to the T.O.P, and the XFX Alpha Dog has a whole lot of bite.
By edging out the EN8800 GTX, even at 1600x1200 with AA on, we just might be able to declare a new king of the hill here -- unless, of couse, you are set on spending a mint on a 8800 Ultra.
On the other side of the coin though, for a difference of somewhere in the ballpark of $100 USD, both 8800 GT's seem to be in the right place.
Stimulating results!

-=> My shader speeds were WRONG. 1800 is the correct speed. I fixed this in the original review. Sorry for any confusion.

But do you have a screenshot of the speeds of the Asus 8800GTS 512MB TOP? Since the core and shader speeds you mention for this card aren't the same as what other sites mention.
Usually the Asus 8800GTS 512MB TOP has these speeds:
Core: 740Mhz
Shaders: 1800Mhz
Memory: 2070Mhz
Compared to your ratings:
Core: 745Mhz
Shaders: 2008Mhz
Memory: 2070Mhz

I had a few errors in the review that I'm grateful no one seemed to notice! I fixed those up, and also spent many hours today on getting an additional look at the XFX 8800 GTS card as well.
Thanks for the comments on the benches. I'm going to be adding probably 2 more games and I still want to do something to measure video decoding as well.
Man o man I wish I had more of the hardware itch atm for new parts cause that gts is lookin good...
