Don't think so. I think the bottleneck lies in the 256 bit memory interface of the 9800 series. The 8800GTX and Ultra have a 384 bit memory interface. The 9 series cards are simply not transferring data quick enough from system memory to video card memory.
I am currently running a temporary cheap card since last May, 7600GT. I am in dire need of an upgrade and the 9800 series was a real disappointment. Hoping that the 9900 series will provide at least a 50% improvement over the 8800's for a price between the current 9800GTX and the 9800GX2...
