Would it be better to go for the Geforce GTX 260 core 216 for around $160 or the GTX 275 at most places for $220.
I currently have a 9800 GTX+ 1 gig video mem running on a slight overclocked q6600.
I know the GTX 260 has the better performance/price ratio but I'm a bit worried it's not really a big jump in performance and worth the hassle to go from a 9800 GTX+ to a GTX 260 ( gaming benchmarks show around a 30-35% increase while it's around a 50% increase for the GTX 275 ). Anyone add to like any comments or share any recommendations/experiences? I'm pressure sure my 9800 GTX+ will have problems running Operation flashpoint 2, Modern warefare 2, Bioshock 2, and maybe Starcraft 2, so I'm looking into upgrading either now ( which this thread addresses ) or the future ( if the Geforce 300 series proves to be a huge increase in performance )
PS: I know ATI is offering good deals but I've had some really really awful experiences with their drivers so I'll probably just stick with Nvidia this time around
