Radeon X800 GTO

Yep, in it's stock form, a 6800 vanilla was it's counterpart.

The GTO was made from "overstock" 800XT and 850XT chips with some of the pipes (2?)disabled. Alot of them could be re-enabled via software making the GTO into a X800XT or X850XT.

^this.

I've still got the GTO running on my secondary computer. It ran as fast as a 6800GT and a 6800GS with unlocked pipes. Obviously, my gto had its pipes unlocked as well.
 
They are decent older cards, but it's worth noting that they are DirectX 9b cards, and can't do 9c in hardware. So we're talking about Shader Model 2.0 instead of 3.0 and a few other things. For most games this isn't an issue, but for example, GRID will not run on an X800.

A 6800 can do DirectX 9c.

I had an X800XTPE in my main rig up until last year.

Any game that uses the new Unreal Engine won't run either... Rainbow Six Vegas 1&2, Frontlines, Bioshock, etc....

I had an All In Wonder X800XT watercooled to 625/650 that ran games like a champ until SM3.0 came up.

X800 is clearly faster, but the 6600 is an SM3.0 card and as I said before there are a few titles that simply won't run on an SM2.0 card like an X800 even though it is faster. I'd still go with the X800.
