We have limited information, but we have managed to confirm that Nvidia plans to release a DirectX 11 card by the end of the year. We already wrote about the GT300 and that is Nvidia´s DirectX 11 card set to show up in Q4 2009.

All indicates that the card comes in the 40nm process, but we don’t know this for sure. This might very well mean that Nvidia won´t really have anything new until Q4 2009 which might get boring, but at least Nvidia will step up and embrace future technology.

Nvidia did said before that it doesn’t plan to go for DirectX 10.1 and that it rather wants to concentrate on DirectX 11 but it was more of a business decision as ATI was leading with DirectX 10.1 for such a long time.

ATI will probably have its DirectX 11 card in the same timeframe.
