I think the 6800GS is the only 6 series PCIE Nvidia are making now.
Otherwise you need a 7 series.

There was a 6800GT PCIe, but they are actually expensive. An equivalent is
the 6800GS (~$200). On the ATi side, there's the X850XT, available for less
than $200.

You can always step up to a 7900GT, which can be found everywhere for less
than $300.

Thanks, guess I'll have to set a pain treshhold at 300 in order to not lose
performance and go for the best possible within that limit. That would be 7
series then?

The 7600GT can be had for about $160 and will bring higher performance than
your old card. That's what you should get.
