Impossible to say a percentage increase as it is so individual it is not even funny. There are lots of things which will have an impact on it. It will be an increase in performance, I'd say a great deal, but will not guess any numbers here.

I upgraded a month or so ago from a 5600 to a 6800GT. The increase in performance was phenomenal, but that is not a guarantee that you will experience the same with a 6600GT, a card that is not as powerful as the 6800GT.

For an indepth look of how an 6600 performs read through this article:

hopefully it can help you and make it easier for you to decide upon what to do.
You will see an improvement in games, but like rico01 said there are to many factors to give an accurate percentage seeing no 2 systems are alike.
