A 9600XT for $130 at a retail store is definitely a good deal. When you say Sapphire 9800, do you mean 9800 Pro, or 9800? ATI's 9800 non-Pro is sort of lacking in performance (when compared to NVIDIA's 5900 non-ultra). ATI still wins the last generation's videocard war by having the best damn deal on the market, though: the Radeon 9800 Pro 128 MB 256-bit. NVIDIA simply doesn't have anything that compares at this price range.
So yes, it is a good deal, but the Radeon 9800 Pro for $200 off of NewEgg is an even better deal.
