wasnt that the whole point of nvidias pr hype late last year at GTC?
dont buy atis 5xxx cards, fermi is coming soon and look how great it performs and what you can do with it!

now that they COULD create some REAL hype with actual numbers and performance... they only have a very small show at ces and dont talk about perf at all... hmmmmmmmmm why could that be?

im not saying fermi perf sucks, but its clearly not as amazing and way faster than atis cards as some people think, and as nvidia claimed... otherwise they would def show off some numbers or at least make some bold claims like "up to 50% higher perf" and "we will blow ati out of the sky" etc etc...
