Age of Empires 3
Age of Empires 3 is always interesting to analyze because of its pixel shading demands. Thus it’s no surprise to see the GeForce 8800 GTS 512 MB emerging in this game, and for the first time, as a clear leader. This is true even if its lead doesn’t exceed 6 % compared to the GTX and hits between 13 and 15 % compared to the 8800 GT (in 1600*1200 and 1920*1440).

OK more tweaking around the ages... Like whatever...

Yeah it is about time we seen a card faster than the gtx, I'm hardly excited that a year later the new cards are "almost" as fast as the gtx
Interesting. Soon they'll unleash the 9 series on us and boost their popularity again. All this feels like the build up to it.
You want to talk about rendering, just get the 8800GTX or Ultra, download the Human Head program and pick up your Jaw after it drops in aw, LOL!

P.S. I've heard you can run this program on the 8600 Cards as well but the F/R's aren't as good as the 8800 series.
