ive seen many different bencmarks that put 6800 up against 6600 GT and most of them show that the 6600 GT comes out on top in the long run. Is that true? what would you guys reccomend if i were to buy one of them? price is not an issue here
 
6800(AGP ONLY) has a 50/50 chance of being unlocked via software to a 6800gt core(though it wont have the same amount of memory so it wont be as fast as a 6800gt)

6600gt really starts to suffer when AA is turned on or higher resolutions due to half the memory bandwith(256bit v.s. 128bit) and half the pixel pipes/vertex shaders(12pp/5vs for 6800, 16pp/6vs for unlocked 6800, 8pp/3vs for 6600gt)

edit: never, ever SLI an 6600gt. for the same price you can easily pick up an 6800gt or maybe even a 6800ultra when it is on sale. the 6800gt itself will blow away an 6600gt when you use higher resolutions/aa.(12x10 or maybe 2xaa)

after all, why would you sli when you can get a faster card for our needs that uses lwess power, less noise and dosent take up all that space and works at the 6600gt sli speed in non sli enabled games?
