Definitely upgrade, or you could save up a little more and get a 6800gt.
EDIT: 9800xt's still cost $360 on newegg, save up another $100 or so and get a 6800gt
 
A 9800xt is waste, the 6800 non-ultra is cheaper ($289), 15-30% faster, and has more features.

And the 6800GT is just a bit more ($40 more) and over twice as fast.

Go with the 6800 or 6800GT.
