Anyone know which video card is better?

I want to get another video card but not sure what to get. I see the Geforce 6800 non-ultra and the 6600gt prices are pretty close but which is a better card? The 6800 has more pipelines but the 6600gt has faster memory and clock speeds. Which is the better of the two?

Generally speaking more pipelines and lower speeds are better than less pipelines and higher speeds. Course it does depend on the particular cards in comparison. When it comes to video cards I always ask myself, Am I really going to notice the difference between card A and card B? I'd look for some reviews and benchmarks between the cards. If the difference is negligible then either would be fine to me.

Thanks THAWA but the problem is I can't find any reviews between the two of these...probably because they are in two different classes. I will probably just go with the 6800 because of the pipelines and memory bandwidth.

It's tested against some ATI cards and a vanilla 128MB 6800.
