Nvidia: DirectX 11 is not important
Nvidia's Sr. Vice President, Investor Relations, Mike Hara, has played down the significance of DirectX 11 at the Deutsche Bank Securities Technology Conference. Instead, Mr. Hard insists technologies like CUDA, PhysX and Stereo 3D Vision are the future.
DirectX 11 by itself is not going be the defining reason to buy a new GPU. It will be one of the reasons. This is why Microsoft is in work with the industry to allow more freedom and more creativity in how you build content, which is always good, and the new features in DirectX 11 are going to allow people to do that. But that no longer is the only reason, we believe, consumers would want to invest in a GPU, explains Mr. Hara.

[Rumour] Nvidia GT300 to be faster than HD 5870
Now that we have a good idea on HD 5870's performance, Fudzilla reports that its sources have great confidence that GT300 will end up faster than the HD 5870. Judging by the "absolute confidence", it might end up quite a bit faster too.
The GT300 will also have a dual GPU version, which will outperform Hemlock (dual 5870).
Fudzilla also suggests a "late November" release date, which is quite early relative to other rumours.

[Rumour/Speculation] ATI/Nvidia next generation release dates/price update
AMD GPG (ATI) and Nvidia are hard at work with their 40nm DX11 products, and consumers can expect a flurry of DX11 products across multiple segments all the way till 2010. Of course, most of these dates are purely based on speculation and rumours.
On the ATI side, we have the entire Evergreen family - beginning with Cypress (5800), continuing with Juniper (5700) and Hemlock (dual-5800), finishing up with Redwood and Cedar (entry-level). Things are far more uncertain as far as Nvidia is concerned, with rumours of significant problems (such as terrible sub-10% yields) with the upcoming GT300 products. We can, however, expect GT200b shrinks/rebrands as well.
