Hi guys

I currently have a Leadtek nVidia 6600 128MB PCI-E video card (not the GT). I am thinking of upgrading the card, so I am wondering which one should i get ?

my budget is <200, but if i can get one for ~150, that will be great.

I am thinking:
6600GT PCI-E - ~160+
x800 128mb - ~150+
x800 256mb - ~180+
x800 pro 256mb (maybe) - ~210+
6800 non-gt PCI-E - ~$210+ (thanks to SuperTyphoon for the link)

I am leaning towards the x800 128mb, or is the 256mb model worth extra $30 ?
the nVidia 6800 series seems just out of my budget hovering ~300.

I really dont want to spend ~300 on a card. also, how much should my retail 6600 sell for ?

Games that I play:
BF, BF2, America's army
mostly at 1280 x 1024 and sometimes 1600x1200
 
x800 256mb - ~180+

There's your card if you can spare the cash. Otherwise get the 128mb version. The x800 will spank the 6600gt in almost anything.
 
x800 256mb - ~180+
x800 pro 256mb (maybe) - ~210+

The Pro will have the same amount of pipes but will have higher clocks and overclocks like a mofo.
