9800GTX > 260GTX worth it?

[Mwing]

Cost to step up: $95

and need to buy a psu to satisfy the power need since my current psu doesnt provide 36 amp on 12v rail

either

http://www.ncix.com/products/i...BLUE&manufacture=ANTEC

or

http://www.ncix.com/products/i...1&manufacture=Gigabyte

plus, shipping $$ old card to EVGA

for gaming at 1920x1200

worth it?

Very worth it especially if it costs you $95!

What are you waiting for? go ahead.

For the PSU i think the antec will do the trick but i like Corsair/Seasonic PSUs so id suggest getting a HX520W.

This page and the next two pages of this article should let you know whether it's worth it or not to you.

[Kromis]

Well unless Antec has changed that to Delta as well, the Neopower Blue is also Seasonic.

Wow that deal is awesome. There is no compromise for you here. Your card is worth less then $200 new and the card they are giving you is worth $300 new... The performance difference will be noticeable at your resolution.

Once again EVGA impresses me...

Dear EVGA,
Please start making AMD/Radeon video cards. Kthnxbi

Yea its actually a no brainer for $95 shipped.

I was thinking about it since my current psu was only 2 months old and to replace another psu just to change the video card so thats a cost also.

I still have 2 months left should I just wait?

Waiting for the queue, currently #94

i just did the same thing. my 260 will be here wednesday according to UPS. wanted to get faster shipping, but evga's rates were expensive for anything other than normal ground. still, all in all, it only cost me $77.

The queues can go fast at times. Before I canceled my GTX 280 stepup I went from 281 to processed in a day.
