AMD likely to beat Nvidia & Intel to market with the only DX11graphics card this year

Basically, AMD's current DX10.1 cards are mostly DirectX11 compatible
already, so future ones are just a few steps from knocking on DX11's door..

Yes I understand AMD's current DX10.1 GPUs are almost DX11, but almost
is not there.
The hardware that DX11 requires is not fully present in AMD's DX10.1
GPUs.

The hardest parts of DX11 were present in DX10.1. It would've been more
appropriate to call it DX10.9, since it's that much closer to DX11 than
DX10.

In fact, DX10.1 was supposed to be what DX10 was originally going to be,
except that Nvidia complained to Microsoft that it couldn't get it done,
so MS neutered the DX10 specs. ATI was ready right from the start to
implement the full 10.1 specs when 10 was first introduced. It was all
just held up because Nvidia was not able to get it done. In fact, I
don't think Nvidia even has a 10.1-spec card out.
