Yeah, the 6600GT and 6800NU are basically even until you get into high res AA/AF - at that point the 6800NUs extra pipelines and 256 bit memory interface give it a nice edge...but when you consider that the 6600GT is a good $60-100 less (a full $110 when I got mine, as 6800NUs were still 300 then...), I think the 6600GT edges out as the better buy.

If you find a deal on a 6800NU though (say, $230 or less) it'd be worth it.
