Was wondering if it would be worth it to upgrade to a GTX 260 from a 9800gtx is there a big enough performance gain?

For me a little over $80 plus the price too ship it to evga, but for $210 I could go sli. 2 9800gtx in sli beats a 9800gx2 which is better than a gtx280(with it's curent drivers). I dont know what to do. I have a little over 30 days to decide. My 9800gtx overclocks pretty well too.

What is becoming of this world?! (I too could never go more than a few days without one, unless I was doing something really interesting those few days.)

Sorry I had to do that but it sucks that a month and a half ago I paid $320 for a 9800gtx and now it is geting beaten in benchmarks by a $200 gpu and I bought a crappy nvidia chipset because I had no faith in ati.
