From what I've read neither AMD nor Nvidia is going to introduce a new architecture for their vidcards this year. So what will be happening is clock increases, die shrinks, maybe sticking more cores onto a board. Nothing Biblical.
Take a long look at the 4870 and the 260, 'cause that's basically what we have for the year.
(Also, I would like to throw in my vote for stepping back from the I7, and going with an LGA 775 chip instead. Big money savings, no performance penalty.)
