Those new cards like the 9800 and 5900 only benefit the most in 3d Mark 2003. We put the 5900 Ultra in my brother's PC, and it increased his score by 2,000 points in 3d Mark 2001 from 9,500 to 11,500. His old video card was a GeForce 4 TI4200.

It increased it by about 2,000 points in 3d Mark 2003, as well. It really depends which PC you put the card in. The PC I bought this past summer (before I RMA'ed it back) got 16,000 on 3d Mark 2001 and 5,900 on 3d Mark 2003. If you have a regular computer, the next-gen cards don't increase the performance that much. You need a CPU and RAM upgrade as well if you want your PC to increase in points that much.
