What % power increase are the 6800GS and 7800GS respectively over a stock AGP6600GT?

I think the GS is a little bit better card, but the 6600GT is a bit cheaper. I got one for 139 plus a 20 rebate at Newegg. I think the cheapest 6800GS cards are around 150 with rebate.

With this possibly being the last AGP card to be issued, if you're gonna spend any cash on another card, w/o going PCIe, might as well get the best there is, and save your cash for a Mobo/Gfx card next time.
With the lower core speed of the 7800GS, it falls somewhere between a 6800GT and an 6800 Ultra, but gives better efficiency for the power consumed.

My next purchase will be a Mobo/7800GTX (PCIe)
