Rumor: No DX11 parts from NVIDIA until 2010

FUD Zilla claims NVIDIA won't be able to bring DirectX 11 graphics cards to the market until sometime in the first half of next year.
We wouldn't even expect it to happen all that soon, as our understanding is that Nvidia is busy re-working a lot of its planned GPUs. From what we were told, TSMC is the source of this leak, as they've been talking to various people in the business and said that Nvidia won't have any DirectX 11 parts this year and not even early next year.

This is indeed bad news for Nvidia which seems to get attacked by AMD on every front these days without having anything to respond back with. Nvidia might be leading on the high-end of the market, but considering how small this part of the graphics card market is, Nvidia must be feeling the heat.
