I love these rumor posts that sprinkle just enough bits that we know to be true (e.g., the Ubisoft slate of games) and bits that are very likely (e.g. a launch date of 23 November) to make them seem credible.
True or not I assume it would use (a costum) openGL 4, equivalent to DX11, just easier to give a reference as they are more or less the same thing, even if is just open GL 3.x (from 4850, like the first rumurs said) and DX10.
