For a $250 budget either the 6800 non-ultra or a 6600gt. Both are about the same when it comes to performance.

 

not even close

 

the 6600GT has 8 pixel pipelines and the 6800 has 12. the 6800GT has 16 and i've heard that some people can get the 6800 and unlock the other 4 making it the GT model. even if you OC the 6600GT, you still dont have the "manpower" (pipes) to do as much work as the 6800

yeah, on paper the 6800 is alot better, but in practice and real world use, there's not a big difference, again, unless you are a benchmark score junkie

Yeah most test I have seen the 6800 either tie or slightly beat but its not really an upgrade if you already have a 6600GT.
