8000gtx & 9800 gt

So I am currently using a BFG 8800GTX in my rig. I was wondering if I should just stick with this, or use my other XFX 9800GT. The most intensive games I play are TF2 engine games(Mostly CS:S), and Burnout Paradise. I've heard 8800gtx is a bit better but 9800gt causes a lot less heat and consumes a lot less power. I play at 1920x1080.

Any suggestions?

You could probably overclock the 9800GT to match the speed of the slightly faster 8800GTX. Then, you'd have a fast, efficient card with full H.264 decoding to boot!
 
I would sell both of them and get a GTX460 and overclock it. Even a 5770 is about 50% faster than the 9800GT. What's the point of having 2 G80 videocards that are both pretty slow (and one of them is just lying around)?
 
Well I have had them for a long time now, since the time when the 260 were new cards. Only reason I do not bother upgrading is all I do is mainly play CS:S. I am looking into investing for a 120HZ monitor and the new Zowie mouse coming out.
