These are all conclusive and valid assumptions which we can to an extent believe in. However people are forgetting the fact that XFX is producing mainstream fermi cards. At the end of the day the way i see it is that Nvidia is kinda punishing XFX to a certain extent as I cannnot fathom XFX losing out on a section of the market which could be lucrative to them. They certainly have a fanbase within the Nvidia group and will not like to see their section of customers go to another brand. They are a business at the end of the day and to not offer a card like fermi to their customers is a blow.
Well we all know that the mainstream cards are the bread and butter for these companies and the lower derivatives of fermi won't be nearly as power hungry or hot for that matter.
