going to buy 6800 or 6600 series card..but witch one?
I was wondering would I see big difference from gf4ti4200 if I go to 6600 series or should I go straight to 6800 (LE,NU,GT). And what is the performance difference between LE and NU? And will 6800 LE be able to run hl2,doom3,farcry with max settings @ decent fps?

Well normally, HL2 should run NP... Just don't expect AA or AF with that kinda card. I think the LE is on par with my 9800 Pro (or just better) so ya, your gonna love the difference! Doom 3 will run fine and so will Far Cry... I think it's worth it....

i think with a 6800le you can play games like farcry with max settings at 1024x768 not higher. Perhaps you can unlock all 16 pipeline on it.

I was thinking to buy Gainward GeForce 6800 LE 128 Mb 250€,
Cuz Gt and Ultra cost too much for me but thx anyway.
Or should I wait for 6600Gt?

A 6600gt would be as fast as 6800le

in a german pc magazine they tested 2 6800LE`s, a MSI and a Leadtek. The could both mod to 16 pipelines without any problem.

Don't count on activating pipelines. If you want 16 buy 16.

I guess you still have AGP?
Then I would go for the GeForce 6800GT (I have the PNY Verto 6800GT and it runs above Ultra specs).

If you have PCIe well then I would think twice to go for a 6800GT or a 6600GT due to the SLI capability...

Stay away from those Asus cards. they are half 6800NU and half 6800GT. moreover, they are overpriced.

What is your budget? The 6800GT is way better, but it is also about 2x the cost.
