I have the 6600gt.
The video decoding bits of the 6800's don't work.
Video still plays obv but its not done on the card.
The 6600gt will play any game thats out atm but will struggle a bit at higher res with AA etc turned on.
Depends on the budget as ever.

Thats just rubbish though isn't it.
The 6600 equivalent ATI cards are crap.
ATI were ahead for a while but then fell behind.
They also made a microsoft/internet style error by saying there was no market for nvidias SLI, which was wrong.
