Sampling from the article:
"What I wasn't expecting was for the 6800 Ultra to nearly double the 9800XT's performance"

Doubling the pipelines over the previous generation of cards means doubling the performance, right? Yes, but thanks to other architectural optimizations the GeForce 6800 Ultra is more than that. How much faster? Compared to the previous generation of cards (GeForce FX 5900/5950 Ultra) you can expect:
4-8x more floating-point shading power
4x shadow processing power
4x occlusion culling efficiency
2x vertex processing power
~2x frame buffer bandwidth
