What resolution do you game at?
Are your games FPS slowing down?
I have a 9800xt also. i play at 10x7 and 11x8 mostly limited by my 19" CRT.
I experience ZERO slowdowns in ANY (new or old) game with all details MAX and ON with AF and even some AA. . . . it would be a WASTE for ME to upgrade now as it is UNnecesary . . . . besides, the NEXT GEN of videocards are less than 6 months away - the current gen will be cheap then.
IF and WHEN i upgrade, it will (probably) be the 6800GT (best bang for buck card - curently).

ABSOLUTELY not! (but then that's just me)
Well, i'd "take" it, but i wouldn't pay to upgrade. The performance increase is rather minimal (+12-25% and - in a few cases - the 6800 is held back by its rather minimal 128MB video RAM
