AGP Video Card Recommendation

Hi I have an nVidia GF4Ti4600 which has served me well for the last 4 years but now it is time for an upgrade.

My options:

6800GS
7600GS
7800GS

I am looking for a price/performance balance as I will also be upgrading my PSU. What gotchas are associated with cards based upon the above chip? What should I look out for?

No ATI fan boys please. I am sticking with nVidia for their better Linux support. If you post ATI information you are just wasting your breath.
 
what's your budget? AFAIK leadtek only makes a 7600GT AGP and are pretty hard to find, here's another option 139.99 AR, Cheifvalue also has the same card for 159.99 without rebate, also it should be using a NV40 chip which could possibly unlock giving it the same performance as a 6800GT.

the 7800GS will be the best performing card of the bunch, but also the highest priced $260+
 
The 7600GT looks interesting. I do not have a set budget as I usually buy at the best price/performance level regardless of the cost involved.
