I upgraded from a 9700 pro to a 9800 pro, but I sold the original 9700 pro on Ebay and ended up only having to pay around 10-20 quid extra for the 9800 pro as it was on special on Aria.co.uk. Can't honestly say I've noticed a huge difference in frame rates though.

Personally, I'd wait a while longer.

From what I've read wot you have is really easy to overclock and isn't that hot either ;)

9700 pro's are among some of the hottest running cards available and as for overclocking, most models won't do it, certainly the Gigabyte Maya II was impossible.

I'm running a 9600XT at the moment but I'm going to wait until the new generation of cards are out before upgrading to a 9800 Pro/XT because the prices will fall shortly after the launch of the R4xx/GeForce 6800.
