    Not everyone can read italian mate. You could at least post a translated link.

    Not everyone reads English either.

    Best idea instead of wanting to be spoon-fed info would be for you to put some effort in and translate it yourself to whatever language you can read.

    That's just great; after months of wait I finally went out and bought the ASUS G51j-A1 to replace my previous ASUS G50Vt and they release this news. It's like I can't have my moment of joy. :(

    Nvidia's busy making the finishing touches on their Fermi design, but i dont think they will do a notebook version as fast as AMD did.
    They just recently added support for DirectX 10.1 on their budget cards.

    DX11 will be handled through CUDA on Fermi because Nvidia doesn't think it's a big enough deal to dedicate chip hardware to it.

    Released can mean 'going into production', so don't expect it to pop out near the turn of the new year.

    Also keep in mind that the current yield issues will mean that all available silicon will be allocated to the desktop side, and that won't change for month.

    The safe route is to not expect anything before late Spring.

    I just don't see a reason for DX 11 when DX 10 is just new for us.

    Because devs failed to use it. It's going old, technology speaking

    DX11 is a lot of what DX10 was supposed to be before it got neutered by Microsoft, Nvidia and ATI's failure to agree on what features should be included.
