Nvidia launching its first DirectX 11 cards on Monday?
Nvidia fans, this may be a verrry long weekend for you as on Monday (February 22nd) a 'major announcement' is coming from Santa Clara. As just announced via Twitter, Nvidia is going to have something big to talk about on Monday at 9:00 AM PST (17:00 PM GMT/UTC) and it's highly probable that it will be Fermi related.
When we say Fermi related we obviously mean the GF100 chip and the two cards based on it, the GeForce GTX 480 and GTX 470 aka, Nvidia's first DirectX 11-supporting products. The GTX 400 cards are expected to take on AMD's Radeon HD 5800 and HD 5900 series models so finally there will be come competition in the DX11 zone.
