So NVIDIA should just say "sorry dudes and dudettes, but Fermi won't beat HD 5970 so we ain't gonna relase it"? What would be the point of that?
Fermi might not be the new messiah for gamers, but as quite few already pointed out Fermi has unique HPC-capabilities.
A product that might not sell well to gamers but do "quite" good in HPC-applications is better than no product at all, don't you think?
Sometimes you've got to release what you got, no matter what. Don't you think ATI didn't like what R600 turned out to be? RV670 was basically R600 done right but wasn't really faster. Should they not have released RV670 because it was late and not fast enough?
Wake up NapalmV5! WTH happened to you?!
