You can compare them on the bot but I got the most bang for the buck off the 8800 GTS 640mb.

The GTS 512. GT 512, GTX, GTS 640, GTS 320 all about the same
I am currently looking for all of them
the 8600GT and 9600 GT are also big hitters
see my WTB post for the top cards that I am looking for have already done the research
all above are good for 80 to 100 boints on air.... Sliced and diced mabee 120 ..
Dents GT is coming my way. If you want it when I am done no prob
Dent is sending it 60 shipped I will sell it to you for the same .....
Cheap Boints. I have a 640 GTS I can send you as well for 65 shipped ... That is what I paid for it if you want that as well
working on a 9600 GT at EOCF but the dude wants too much ... trying to get him down to 50 shipped
figuring 6 of these gems will put me in the 1K club ... I also have some scrub cards I will tourcher a bit too

Yeah they can all net you some big points. I know the 8800 gts 640 and 512 are easily modded.
@Withdoctor - I had both the 8600gt and 9600gt last year. Both can be modded easily too just make sure you get some that can. I bought the wrong 9600gt's and couldn't do shit with them.

I also found a pencil mod for the 8600's. I have no clue how effective it is though.... Easy enough to play around with.

8600gt's are a great 1st vmod card. Easy, nice big ic legs to solder to.

Airgas is prolly going to be bought out. There was a $60 per share bid on it Friday by Air Products & Chemicals Inc. Thursday stock closed at $43.53. I dunno what this means for the joe-blows like us that filler up there.
