9800GT is, in fact, an 8800GT. No, I don't mean it's "like" an 8800GT, or "comparable" to an 8800GT... no. It IS an 8800GT, just overclocked a bit. Take that same 8800GT / 9800GT and die-shrink it / give it a little boost, and you've got yourself a 9800GTX+. Which, coincidentally, is the EXACT SAME THING as a GTS 250. Sure, you'd see a decent upgrade going from an 8800GT to a GTS250, but for a nice boost, I'd really recommend a GTX 260 Core 216 at least. You can get really good deals on them these days.

8800GT = 9800GT = GTS 250.

They have similar performance because basically they're the same.
