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

There's your card if you can spare the cash. Otherwise get the 128mb version. The x800 will spank the 6600gt in almost anything.

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