Relative performance

Reasons to consider GeForce 9800 GT

Based on an outdated architecture (Nvidia Tesla), there are no performance optimizations for current games and applications
PhysX support, however PhysX performance on newest games may be poor

Reasons to consider GeForce GTX 650

60 watts lower power draw. This might be a strong point if your current power supply is not enough to handle the GeForce 9800 GT .
This is a much newer product, it might have better long term support.
Around 119% higher average synthetic performance.
Supports PhysX
Supports G-Sync
Supports ShadowPlay (allows game streaming/recording with minimum performance penalty)
Based on an outdated architecture (Nvidia Kepler), there are less performance optimizations for current games and applications

GeForce GTX 650

HWBench recommends GeForce GTX 650
