Seeing as the next generation of nVidia cards hasn't even officially been announced yet, I would have to say no. When I see the specs and pricing then I might say yes, but the 8800 GTX and Ultra are absolute shading monsters, even though DX10 seems to be pushing them to the limits.
For me it will depend on whether buying a Geforce 9 will give me noticably better performance than a second Geforce 8. In the past, two of the last generation have been rather close in performance to one of the latest generation. If it's a toss between £180 ish for a second Geforce 8800 (when Geforce 9 is released the 8's should come down to this or lower...I hope) or a Geforce 9 at £350 + to get the same level ofperformance, it's a no brainer. But if the performance is staggeringly higher then I'll go with a Geforce 9, but not straight away, I'd wait until my Geforce 8800 starts to cry when it sees new games.
This and the new AMD Phenom x4 due out by the end of this year is why I've been waiting to upgrade. I may not be able to afford these new devices but it should drop the price of the other stuff a bit.
