Ati won't be pleased.
I think the crunch will be Half-Life 2 though, although the current crop of GPUs seems to be lagging behind general development. This lot seems to be more of a stop-gap more than anything else.

But what people fail to realise is that nVidia specifically make the GT, the Ati PE range are reject cards sold at discout prices. THis has always been the historical case with ATi.
Personally though, I have finally decided to wait to see the specs of the new PCI Fire GL
A new driver relesae is all ATI really nead and it is the only place where Nvidia has the advantage. The new Catalyst drivers though have proved to be pretty decent.

I may have been thinking of the LE, thoughthe top x800 is the x800XT Platinum so I'd assume that the PE = LE but Ati have adopted P this time about.

Not for Doom 3. The thing is that Doom 3 has been done with Nvidia in mind so at the moment the Nvidia is at the top. I agree that the ATI is ahead of the Nvidia when you put AA and AF on as you just have to look at Far Cry bench marks with the 6800 and the X800 and see the ATI proving its the best.
