QFT. To be mroe precise
Q1 2006, G72/73 (7600/7200)
Q1~2 2006, G71 (7900)
Q3 2006, G80 (8 series)
The upcoming G71/72/73 are all based on 90nm low k, and is the refresh of the current 7 series. No one knows for sure if this is just a die shrink, but expect higher clocks due to the 90nm lowk. It might possibly have a tweak AA/AF modes or even possibly HDR plus AA. Its all specualation at this point. The G71 is PS3s RSX which is rumoured to have 32 pipes clocked at 750mhz.
G80 supports DX10, and has S.M 4.0. Plus it uses GDDR4 ram. It is also rumoured to be the first unified architecture for NV, and might possibly has "48 units".
