is the difference that great?

games that will be played include BF2 (+Special Forces)...HL2 (+all-mods)...Madden...FEAR etc...
 
The x800gt is an 8 pipelined card. The 7800gt is a 20 pipelined card with a somewhat new architecture over the nvidia 6 series. The difference is phenominal in my opinion. Think of going from a 9800xt or pro to an x850xtpe or better. difference is pretty big.

lol 😀

it all depends if you want to play at HIGH res, like 1600x1200 and up. if 1280 or 1024 is ok with you, then the upgrade isn't much worth it. i have an X800 and it does perfectly fine in games at 1280, but add AA and what not and then it starts being unplayable. 1024x768 w/4xAA is what i use for everything and i'm perfectly content graphics wise.
 
oddly enough I play games at like 800x600 or 1024x768...can I get more than 80 FPS on CS:S and DOD:S with the X800 if I use those Res?
 
I just want something I can use to play at that Res until I have more money...which is the cheapest Vid Card I could use for that?

6600GT.

I have one and I can play the above games easily at those resolutions.
 
what FPS is easily?

I want at least 100 FPS on CS:S and maybe 80-100FPS on DOD:S...

I also want a playable HL2...

also...is the difference that great with a 6600GT if I'm coming from an ATI 9600XT?

Easily meaning I dont experience any significant slow downs.

At 1024x768

BF2 50+
CS:S 80+
FEAR 40+
FarCry 60+

I dont have DOD:S, sorry but its requirements are higher than CS:S.
