*All* of the GPUs in the 200-series are designated "GTX". (I don't know 
why... Perhaps something to do with nVidia's new naming scheme?)

So anyway, I asked Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Nvidia_graphics_processing_units

Comparing your high-end 6-series to my low-end 200-series, we have:

                     | GeForce 6600GT | GeForce GTX 260
Gigapixels / second |      2.000     |       16.128
Gigatexels / second |      4.000     |       36.864
Gigabytes  / second |     16.000     |      111.900

The GeForce GTX 260 also generates approximately 715 gigaFLOPS peak 
processing power (single-precision only).

Given that you claim your 6600GT "handles" Crysis, and all of the 
performance data I can actually obtain for both cards gives the GTX260 
has roughly ten times "better", in theory the GTX260 should eat it up...

We shall see!
