I've been out of the video card game for a little bit, I know the 6600GT does well @ lower res but the 6800nu handles AA/AF better. Need opinions:

A64 3200+ Newcastle w/1GB RAM: I don't game as much so I'm selling my 6800GT and getting a cheaper card to free up some cash

Used eVGA 6800nu for $130ish that supposedly unlocks

OR

New PNY 6600GT for $145 with a $20 MIR from NewEgg

I'm thinking the 6800nu, opinions?
Also, would this 6800nu have the working PVP? I know the 6600GT's do, that is of some value to me. TIA

6800NU. PCI-E 6800NU does have working PVP and AGP only has a partially working one.

there are a few benches (especially doom 3) where the 6600gt outperforms the 6800.
i would say 6600gt to save yourself a potential headache...

I would imagine an unlocked 6800nu would outperform tho, yes? Anyone have links to the unlocked 6800nu performance? TIA
