6600GT was the mid range card of choice six months back.
6600GT is going to struggle in future games, friend. Six months back, it was the hardware of choice among people worldwide as it was at a sweet point between price and performance. Now that place has been taken over by 6800GS. Signs are already there, have you tried the timeshift demo, or FEAR, for that matter in somewhat high settings? 6600GT is struggling to keep up. I tried it at a friend's place who has a 6600GT at resolutions over 1024X768 and...better not say it...
Read in some reviews that a 6800GS SLI setup matches the performance of the GTX 256MB in some respects and the combined cost of two 6800GS is less than that of the 7800GTX 256MB. But if you are particular about HDR and SM3.0 and the like
TOGETHER, then might as well get the 7800 series.
