X700xt or 6600GT - Best for PCI-e?

I'm looking at the best PCI-E video card solution for $200-$300 and it looks like it's either the x700xt or 6600GT. As far as I know they're just about neck and neck, so I really don't know which I should buy. Advantages for x700xt is smaller die size for ocing oppurtunities, and a little faster in HL2. 6600GT however has higher clock speeds and SM3.0. Does anyone know which is really best for PCI-E?

is a descent write up. If you want good honest opinions you will need to wait till more people actually have them.

Based off the review the 6600gt seems better fps wise.

On a side note i recent the fact the 9700pro get so low fps in most of these tests. I can run my 9700pro on my barton system and get higher fps with more AA/AF almost twice the amount of that.

Because these reviews suck. All of the reviews I have read so far are nothing like what I get in real world gaming. I just installed fraps, and on my OC'ed GT I can run at 1600x1200 at 6x 16x and get frames between 130 and 60 I am not running at high quality and have aniso optomizing on. Thats good enough for me, and I'd be happy to post my excel file from my gaming when I get home from work. I believe the 9700 pro kicks ***. Mine was awsome. I would like another one for my work machine when they are down just a bit more because I have the water block for it and I could play all my games and it looked 10,000 times better than the 5800NU I am using there now.

6600GT. The only benches where the X700 has any significant advantage is HL2, and it's around 10%. Most other benches go to the 6600GT. I believe the 6600GT PCI-E is also cheaper because nvidia wants you to upgrade to PCI-E instead of buying the AGP version, which costs a bit more. Of course, it also might have something to do with the limited supply of AGP versions out right now. Pricewatch only has 2 listings for the AGP version and it's about $30-40 more than most PCI-E versions.

The agp costs more because they agp bridge is an added expense during production.

Or because they just launched and you can barely get them right now. NewEgg had 'em, but they're out of stock now. I don't think they'll be dropping the price any time soon. The PCI-E version had the same bridge, only in reverse for previous cards, so there's no additional cost.
