I wouldnt. All you should update is drivers.

The only reason I could see for "updating" a video card's BIOS is to either 1.) unlock pipes, or 2.) lock a particular overclock speed.
A 9800 PRO doesn't have extra pipes to unlock and you can just overclock it using ATiTool or ATT or whatever.
So, updating your video card BIOS is well, pointless.

Extra danger for no reason. If it ain't broke don't fix it
