This means that NVIDIA fans have little over a month to wait for the company's first DirectX 11 compatible GPU.
Yesterday we came across a listing on SabrePC.com for both the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 470 and GTX 480 cards from both PNY and XFX, listed as $500 for the GeForce GTX 470 and $680 for the GTX 480.
