Most new 6600gts can be found between $100-$130 online. Add $20-$40 more to that if you were to buy one in a brick and mortar store. As for that exact card, Gainward does not have much presence in the US so I can't find local pricing on the model you mentioned.

Might I inquire as to why you are asking? That card is going to be a bit weak at running newer games. I would highly recommend looking more into 7600gts as the speed improvements are well worth the few extra dollars. In the US, 7600gts can be found around $150-$175 online and will blow away a 6600gt anyday. Just a thought.

Just post back if you have any more questions.

LOL… fanboy.

ATI has the fasted single card solution and the better integrated solution but Nvidia has the dual card market, mid, and low range.

Here is the bang for the buck breakdown as I see it.
integrated = ati express x200
$150+ = nvidia 7600gt
$250+ = nvidia 7900gt (current sweetspot)
$350+ = ati x1900xt
$450+ = ati x1900xtx
$500+ = nvidia 7900gt SLI
$900+ = nvidia 7900gtx SLI

If only ATI could streamline crossfire enough, it would easily knock nvidia off the dual card pillar. As it stands, CF is just clumsy compared to SLI. Anyways, lists like these change almost monthly so who knows who will be on top in a few weeks. Plus, it is time to start looking forward to DirectX 10 and both company’s next gen chips too.
