Crunching the benchmark scores states otherwise (which I did from the two reviews) in general at least a 40% increase in performance over the HD 4670. Crysis showed one of the lower performance increase of only about 34%; Fallout 3 being the highest at nearly 80%. Crunch the numbers yourself if you wanna verify.
Dirt 2 is the only DX11 benchmark, the drop in performance going from DX10 to DX11 is roughly 35% - 38%.

The differences between DirectX 9 and DirectX 10/11 as well as DirectX 10 and DirectX 11 are quite obvious.
DX11 only performs worse than DX9 (around 60.25% worse), while being better than DX10 (13.75%), and DX10.1 (16.75%)
