Is there a comparison chart between Nvidia cards?

My old 4200 card scores 1600 on 3dMark 03, and I see others get over
6000 with new 6800 cards, but what about the other cards in between?

After all it's a question about price vs power. I need a bit stronger
card (today I get full speed at old games with 2x AA, but HL2 won't
run faster than 42 fps w/o AA, what do I need to get 85 fps 4x AA?)

BTW: Will all new cards work OK with my Asus P4PE board, or is there
AGP limitations that will slow down the card on the P4PE (AGP speed)

Win98se, Asus P4PE, 2.53 GHz, Asus V8420 (Ti4200), SB-Live!

I also have an P4PE, P4@2,667, 1GB PC3200, and have gone from a Inno3D
FX5200 (3dmark03: 1460), MSI 6600GT (3dmark03: 7400) to a LeadTek 6800
(3dmark03: 8300) - unlocked the pipelines and vertex shader and got 9000.
Problem is, in games it doesn't seem to make much of a difference. E.g. in
HL2, outside train station, overlooking the plaza, I get around 30FPS with
the two 6x00 cards (can't remember the FX5200, but it wasn't unplayable). In
all fairness, I usually get higher FPS, but it just fells laggy most of the
time. Overall, for the price, I'm not impressed, so the 6x00's are going
back for a refund... Surely, I've got some bottleneck in my system that's
limiting the FPS (CPU speed, RAM timings, AGP x4, who knows?), and until
it's located, it's just not worth the upgrade for me.
