I had my wires crossed with the cheaper remark, i was referring to the 5850 (which is better and cheaper than the GTX285) not the 5870

That said all dx api's are usually the same story so much potential so short in the practical execution but iam hoping 11 will be something good god knows we need something on the pc to get some decent games out on it rather then ports from console.
Not only that, but DX10 was harder to code form which is one of the reasons why DX 10.1 came about
