A lot depends on the rest of your system, but all things equal, you should
see some increase in performance.

Depends on your processor.  If your processor is getting flogged, a better
video card won't help.

Do you mean GeForce 6800 or GeForce  6800GT ?

If it is the GT, then I can tell you that you will pick up some performance
over the 9800, and get rid of a few ATI driver issues as well :)
Staggering?  No.  Improvement?  Yes.

Again, it's dependent on your CPU.
