I wouldn't be so sure id's on the ATI bandwagon. There's a LOT of bad blood between those two, since ATI leaked the E3 pre-alpha demo of DOOM 3. That's not meant to take anything away from ATI's cards. Hell, I just picked up a 9800 All in Wonder, myself.

The next generation cards should be announced within the next two months - at least for ATI. As yet, I haven't heard too much about them. The current gen (9700, 9800 GeForce FX) are all DX9 compatible and will work fine for games like HL2 and Doom 3 (whenever it's released). I suspect the next gen will be performance enhanced, as DX10 is the platform for Xbox 2 - and Microsoft won't be rolling that out until a few months before they release their console follow-up.
