I'd be excited if i had a 5xxx card. 
. Maybe I'll pick one up as a christmas gift for myself.

I would love to try out this game with DX11, I just need a graphics card that uses DX11. Hopefully ATI will manage to get their manufacturing sorted so we can actually buy them!
The more games support dx11 the better for AMD since Nvidia still has nothing and Fermi is months away.

The difference is big, but games won't be coming out with support for all of dx11's features. Most will only have some of them so when you compare the games in dx11 and dx10 you won't see a very big difference.
Just check youtube for a good comparison between dx10 and dx11 using Unigine's "Heaven" benchmark.

Tested the demo with my 5870 and must say it's very nice, oozes a certain quality I've not seen before not even in Crysis. Crysis looks more like sharp detail, whereas DiRT 2 seems to have a smooth easy feel to it. Very nice, looking forward to the full game, already activated my free version on steam bring on the 4th.
bring on the 4th.I'm not really a big fan of racing games...although I loved GranTurismo and The 2nd one, Sadly i've yet to have the same fun with a racing game since. The graphics do look great on this though, I may download it just to try it i guess...I'm needing something to hold me over until Battlefield Bad Company 2. If anyone has any demo suggestions lemme know plz!

I checked out some screenshots, doesn't seem to have too much difference from DX 10. But then again, DX 10 also didn't differ much from DX 9 :/

It can't be much longer until games are rendered at true realism levels of detail. Where does it go after that?

I'd love to see screens shots of DX 9 and DX 11 side by side to compare. Definitely looking forward to getting a DX11 card but I think I'll wait a bit to see what Nvidia answers with to ATI's 5000 series cards.
Unfortunately with the 5870's and 5970's out of stock everywhere, I couldn't get a DX 11 card now even if I wanted to!

Physics and material properties.
And hopefully better dinamic atmospheric affects, more advanced lighting, 3d gaming, using the GPU for everyday tasks instead of just for gaming/3d programs - there is plenty of areas for graphics to grow

Played the Demo last night and boy does this game look amazing, I'm able to nearly max it out on a single 8800 GT with 2xMSAA. I say nearly because the sliders wont go any higher on some of the settings. Also I was running it side by side with my friend who was using a 5970 and really when your flying down the dirt road at break neck speeds the game looks the same. And we did a little comparison with similar settings except he was using 8xMSAA and his frame rate was not that much higher, on the built in benchmark he scored 50FPS average and I got 40. Its probably due to the fact that the drivers for the 5970 are still not up to par with the games yet.

Here is an article on Bit-Tech that has some side by sides. There really isn't much of a difference between DX9 and DX11 in this demo.
