I say go for the 7600gt and save on your power bills. But seriously, GS oc's, so does the 7600gt. The 7600gt is right between the 7800gt and 6800gs, and considering how little power it consumes, its my favorite card on the market right now.

I still havn't OC'd my gs because I was waitng until the 7600 came out to see if i should do a sawp. But if it OC's so good I'll try later and report back.

nice OC, is that on stock cooling? stay with the 6800gs and save your money, and buy something better than the 7600gt later. Guru3d.com has a XFX 6800gs XXX edition OC'd simliar to your speeds.
