Will these be the first DirectX 11 GPUs?
German hardware website hardware-infos.com has details on what it believes will be the first DirectX 11 from both NVIDIA and AMD/ATI.

Note: It's important for me to point out that these numbers are unconfirmed. That said, they do look convincing.
AMD/ATI
Radeon HD 5870
- GPU clock: 900MHz
- Shader clock: 900MHz
- Memory clock: 4,400MHz
- Memory: 1GB GDDR5
- Manufacturing process: 40nm
- Peak GFLOPS: 2,160
Radeon HD 5870 X2
- GPU clock: 950MHz
- Shader clock: 950MHz
- Memory clock: 4,600MHz
- Memory: 2GB GDDR5
- Manufacturing process: 40nm
- Peak GFLOPS: 4,560
These numbers would make these parts almost twice as powerful as the current HD 4870 and HD 4870 X2 graphics cards.
NVIDIA
GeForce GTX 3xx (G300)
- GPU clock: 700MHz
- Shader clock: 1,600MHz
- Memory clock: 2,200MHz
- Memory: 1GB GDDR5
- Manufacturing process: 40nm
- Peak GFLOPS: 2,457
These numbers would make this part more than twice as powerful as the GeForce GTX 285.
