Which would you pick out of the 2 options? and is it worth the extra money to go for the gx2 or 260 over the gtx+ 512mb or 1gb
 
Resolution matters in this choice. If you're running at 1280x1024 or lower, go with the 512MB 9800GTX+, because more is overkill. If your resolution is 1680x1050 or higher, go with the GTX 260 216.

Disregard the 1GB 9800GTX+; in cases where you need the extra RAM (that is, higher resolutions and AA), the GTX260 216 is a better choice.
 
the only one I would pick is the 260

the 9800GTX cards are way over priced for what they are, the 4850 just kills them all round, the 9800GX2 is a benchmarking card, you will get better game play out of the 260.
 
I had an 8800 (G92) GTS 512MB and "stepped up" to the 9800 GTX. Complete waste. Of your choices go with the 260, but definitely check out pricing of the 280 first.
 
spend the money and go with the core 216 260. you won't regret it. it is a great card
