As far as i know, yeah, it is.

It's about 15-30% faster than a 9800XT if that helps.

If you already have a 9800PRO, I wouldn't say its worth upgrading due to the money you'd lose. A 6800GT would be a more noticable upgrade for a 9800PRO owner.

On the other hand, if you are wondering about whether its worth spending an extra $100 over the 9800PRO for if you don't have either yet, its definitely worth the extra cash for the 6800. i.e. if building a new PC the 6800 is definitely a better bet than the 9800pro.

After cruising some different reviews my answer is barely. If your question was more along the lines of, "Would this be a good upgrade from what I already have?" The answer would be a definite no.

Barely? The 6800NU is a lot faster! I think he should get a GT, but the 6800NU is noticeably faster than a 9800 Pro.

It's noticeably better, but not $300 better. Though perhaps it's $150 better if you get a decent price for the 9800pro... Still, I'd hold out for a 6800GT.
