PCI Express equivalent to 6600GT AGP

With the advent of PCI-E can anyone tell me what the equivalent GPU would be to the above card
Thanks

It's a trick question right? Erhmm.... 6600GT PCIe

Indeed I'm running several of these in different machines. Gigabyte silent heatpipe versions. Excellent cards

Sorry, should have been a bit clearer. Would the PCI-E interface mean you could go for a card further down the chain that would equate to the same performance?

As neither version will saturate the bandwidth of either bus, then performance is limited to the card. The only difference your then left with is the relative merits of the motherboard chipset. Any difference would be marginal for this type of card.

The significant difference to be found will be the memory type and size of each card.
