Yeah, the X800 would beat a 6600gt no problem.

to the forums....
this is not hardly a fair comparison...... I'd be surprised if you can get an X800XTPE for a similar price of the 6600GT.

I think he meant the 6800gt. But in that case it's still better to get the x800xtpe. Those things match the 6800 ultras.

since it's the 6800gt you're talking about I'll advise you to get the X800XTPE if you can get your hands on one. I love mine and it's a great card. If you can get a good deal on one, grab it. The 6800GT is a good card but the XTPE is superior.

The X800 seems better... but is like half the power of the 7800GTX!

is the x800 still superior when you overclock your GT to Ultra + speeds
