Hmm... Right now for games like Far Cry and other DX9 games, the 9800P will work better but all the other games, your 5900 will play just fine. I have a 5900NU (flashed to 5950U) and have no problems in Far Cry or the other DX9 games but I have done tweaking so that I can play it as high as I can and still make it look good. The beta 60.72 drivers own aswell... They greatly increased DX9 performance for me.

well basically what he did is what i did I had a 5900 ultra flashed it to 5950 Plays games just fine but temps got a little high. So I truthfully am running a 9800 pro 128 works fine DX9 games like ati cards better anyways BUT if you have the extra case get a 5950 but if you dont get a 9800 pro

And yes my sig is incredibly outdated!
