Well ATI and NVidia both have an effect on each others cards in the market.
While the 8800 is the only product out there with DX10 support and it is
also a 'premium' part ATI only have to release something roughly equal to it
to say they're in the game. You won't start seeing real good value from
either manufacturer until they launch revised models and start actually
competing with each other.
My opinion (my own personal plan in fact) would be to keep your current card
as it's 'good enough' (as is my X1800XT) for now, and wait for the market to
stop moving. In either case, you're not really missing that much by sticking
for a little while longer.
