9800gx2 vs gtx260 Poll. Pick for me!

[Retro]

You can step-up if your card qualifies, in that you won't know for sure till you register your card on in EVGA's site and it will tell you if you are able to step up.

Ie GX2 to 280.


If you buy a GX2 on fleabay and not from a reseller (which there are limited ones EVGA supports) then you not only will lose warranty but also the ability to step up as well.

My .02 I own a GX2 as well as an 8800 Ultra. I was getting stuttering with the GX2, installed the Ultra even though an older card, get better FPS and no stuttering..........I am happy for now.

Debating moving to a 260 as well.

I stepped up to a 280 from a GX2, damn glad I did. As for the 260, if you want to save a few bucks over the 280, go for it. The 260 is also a good performer, and they overclock very well. I also had the stuttering with the GX2, the 260/280's run smooth as silk. As for the extra memory, just as with the 8800 Ultra, it makes a big difference from the 512 (actual) on the GX2, I'm quite surprised how much better my games run now.
I also think it's a worthwhile upgrade from an Ultra, and there are some really good deals out there on the 260/280's now.
