You know quite well that Windows 7 is coming and will use DX11 (which I think is pretty basic since most of us knew that) and also that the competition will use that as an advantage to take the lead. Will you let it go or will you do something about it? This situation occurred months before the launch of the Windows 7. You as a CEO had a choice right? it is not like you did not have one.

I as a CEO, If fermi was not ready for that month then I would play their game and do the same, release something with DX11 support and or something extra even if that is not as powerful as the 5800 series this new model would compete with the mainstream 5700 series or would give customers the DX11 feeling that they wanted and personally I think that this would not have weaken the brand as it is.

What about a G92 with DX11 only to compete? That is my point, don't let the competition go on a rampage.
