260 and 9800gtx+

I'm doing a new build and have chosen to go with an e8400, 4gb ram (800mhz) and a Asus P5Q motherboard but i'm kind of stuck on the graphics card. I play a few games and going to overclock the system so i was wondering if it's worth spending an extra £40 and getting a 260 rather than a 9800gtx+.

both cards r good but i would go with the gtx260 avg frames decently higher and much higher low fps. the gtx260 scales well in sli. they can be found for as low as 215$ on newegg.

I think OP is from UK. For US prices, consider 9800gx2 for $280, no mail in rebates, free shipping. It blows away both 9800gtx+ and gtx260 in performance.

That's driver issues, it's impossible for it to drop below 15 fps even in Crysis max settings.

i did a clean install and nothing. well my games ran fine. just that the fps would drop randomly was my only issue. im sure the cards better now with newer drivers. i guess if u can stand the heat and sound of the card it would be a good buy. i remember when i bought it for like 450$ now its under 300$.
