128mb x800gto or 6600GT

[Falloutboy]

should I get the saphire x800GTO 128mb for 130 from newegg or should I go for a 6600gt

x800gto will be faster and it ocs very well. the 6600gt is pretty good and the oc is pretty good also, but i'd say the 800gto will be faster. 256bit memory interface and 4 more pipes ftw.

AT has a little article on x800gto, pretty much outperforms the 6600gt on most benchmarks,

X800GTO. I just built a system for my brother with this card and tested it against the 6600GT. The X800GTO scores higher in every benchmark.

Personally, I'd go for the 6600gt. It also OCs very nicely, especially with an aftermarket cooler (15% performance boost in most cases).

Also, the 6600gt has shader model 3 support, which MIGHT come in handy with next gen games, since most are using it. If its not a concern to you, the x800gto will be a better choice.
