Nice price. Though it's not that better than my 6600GT, and it's not unlockable like the AGP version.

New Egg has the Aopen 6600GT PCI-X16 for $134 + $5 shipping. Which one is better, the 6800 or the 6600GT in term of gaming??

6800

lower rez-6600gt higher 6800 but there close. if you can OC a 6800 it will be faster as it already has lots more memory bandwdith.

For those looking for the PCI-e version of the 6800nu, you might try the Connect3D x800 GTO (not the plain x800, but the x800 GTO). I think it's 256 bits, 256 MB, and 12 pipes, perhaps beating the 6800nu at stock, but what makes it the PCI-e version of the 6800nu is the possibility of unlocking the other 4 pipes and then overclocking it to x800xt speeds. If it doesn't unlock, the card's about as powerful as a 6800nu. I'd go for that one in that price range.

How about this? It's a bit cheaper than the GTO for $121.65AR shipped: http://www.pcdirect.com//product.asp?Sku=VIMSRX800%2DTD128E (free shipping if you click through pricewatch since the promotion code is filled in... or you can figure it out since it's so simple)
Also available through newegg for $119.99AR + $3.50 shipping: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814127176
You won't get charged tax in one or the other. Both have 9.0+ Reseller Ratings.

MSI RX800-TD128E
128MB (vs 256MB on GTO)
12 pipelines
392MHz core speed (8MHz slower core than GTO)
256-bit 700MHz memory (280MHz slower than GTO)
$121.65AR ($66 cheaper than the Connect3D X800 GTO @ newegg)

IMO, a better choice than the PNY 6800nu and way better than the 6600GT. I was tempted to buy the 6800nu in this thread until I found the MSI RX800 for $30 cheaper.
