I have a couple of weeks left on the evga stepup program. I could stepup to the gtx260 for free from my 9800gtx. Is it really worth it? I game at 1680x1050. Would I see much of a difference? Is the 260 really that much better?

If its for free i say why not, go for it. You will see a bit of a performance increase.

You'll probably see a ~30-40% increase in performance.

That depends on the rest of your setup though.

Definetely worth it if it's for free. The GTX 260 is much better than a 9800GTX.
