...and when are they scheduled to be released?

I am asking because I'd like to upgrade my card but don't wish to do so within 1-2months of a new product cycle. ;)

Next gen will be DX10, so thay are probably going to release those cards with Vista. G80 might be launched at the end of the summer.

Not sure when the next gen cards will be released, I've been kinda wondering that myself. My upcomnig system overall calls for a 1900XT, but putting in that card within a few months of a new, faster card would really drag.

I wouldn't be completely surprised if they did one more refresh of DX9 cards prior to Vista shipping next year.

DX10 cards will likely not come out until August/September (for NV) and later for R600. ATi wants to do 1 more refresh of X1900XTX series.
