The Folding@home wiki states that it takes 9 clients per tera flop whereas the FLOPs wiki states that an nVidia 8800 Ultra series (128 shaders) GPU kicks out about 4.5 GFLOPs.

Has anyone seen any more specific results by GPU type posted anywhere?

well, that figure is RAW speed, which doesn't necessarily mean it is x times faster than say a CPU.
One cannot compare two different architectures.
