GTX 260 vs GTX 275, worth the hassle?

[TehSpo0n]

Hey all, I realize that the GTX 275 is obviously a better card than the GTX 260. Given my circumstances however, I'd just like some opinions on whether it will be worth the trouble to upgrade... I recently bought this card from Newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16814130434 (note free Arkham Asylum)

It's on the way via UPS, but I just found this deal this morning...

http://www.frys.com/product/5892363

Now, the GTX 260 is scheduled to arrive on Monday and if I choose, I can refuse the arrival and not have to pay return shipping or a restocking fee, and go pick up the 275 today in store. This would lose the free game, and I'd still have to rely on Frys rebate to get in before Wednesday. What should I do?

Thanks for any advice!

Well, the fry's deal on the 275 is dead online so i'd say keep the 260 coming.

Unless you have a local fry's and can go pick it up.

I do. I could order it this morning and go get it today.

It would be about $50 more for a card that is almost 15% faster if you are planning on buying the game anyway. Both rebates are through EVGA so no difference there. Of course if you can wait to buy the game you can get it cheaper in a couple of months.

just stick with the gtx260 and free Batman game. by the time you buy Batman, pay tax on the gtx275, send the other card back and pay restocking fee you are out more money than all that trouble is worth anyway.

Why bother with the GTX 275? It's like me 'upgrading' from an 8800GT to a 8800GTS 512MB. You won't notice any difference worth noting. Why not wait a month or so and see what the Radeon 5870 and 5850 are like? This would be a much better option, IMHO.
