Imho; not worth it at the moment. For Nvidia GTX295 remains the upper limit, or go with ATI.

Nvidia's last few drivers version are also bad. A lot of complaints on there forums and customer service. I would stick with ATI.. I'm a fan of nvidia don't get me wrong but lately last few months there stuff has failed badly.
I'm still waiting for my compensation on my burnt GTX280... But at least there working with DELL to send me a replacement... I just don't know what yet.
I'm using a ATI 5870 and it works great. some games it out preforms to GTX480's...
My ATI 5870 average idle heat is 38c and gaming is 56c..
My GTX280 was much higher. 47idling and 75c gaming..
Anyhow something to consider...
