Well will be interesting to see what happens. If DX10 cards can run DX11 it will be too slow anyways, just like first SM3.0 cards were too slow to run HDR and like first SM4.0 cards were too slow to run DX10.
my guess, is that they're going to emulate it through shaders. Look at how they're doing Physx and F@H - it will be like that. lots faster than a CPU doing it, but definately slower than a 'true' DX11 card.
