What ATI did with 4000, 5000, and (so far) 6000 series was keeping a tight lid on things. What Nvidia is doing with fermi is the diametrical opposite of that.
No sorry I wasn't kidding at all, I was asking if it would be a fair comment to say, I guess you don't feel it is.
A small flash back

The reason behind nvidia having such a strong NDA and being so tight lipped with there information on the 470s/480s, has alot to do with the fact that ati where able to keep the development
of eyefinity a secret from nvidia right up to the card being released?

It just seems to me like nvidia are making the ponit that they can keep things on the down low as well if they choose to.
I can see with hindsight I should of said "Final specifications" and not just information.

As for your statements.
"Nvidia has been anything but quiet about fermi with one sneak peek," Just as well then they had the good sence to keep it down to just one sneak peek then, hay.
" intentional leak," Well as there is no info or link about this I am not sure but I guess they could have.
"demonstration," Humm I do love a good demo, especially if it's about an up and comming new card.
"and architecture review after another." As to have lots of reviews on the net about nvidias new architecture,
I think that has a lot to do with the fact theres alots of review sites on the net that are interested and want to make money.
"They were so eager to start showing off fermi that they couldn't wait for a real card for their CEO to hold up in front of everyone." Well I guess they didn't have a real one to show everyone, in say that,
it's one thing to have a mock-up card and to let people know it's just a mock card.
If in fact the CEO was trying to give the impression that it was in fact a real working card, then thats just plain Dumb, I have no idea about this, only read here say.

Anyhow please correct me if I am wrong, but none of the above statements you have made came under the nvidias NDA.

The whole point of this was from what I know (and thats not much) in the past by now a lot more information about the final specification and benchmarks would have been known by now.

As ati was able to keep eyefinity a secret right up to it's release date this whole lockdown of information about the final specification and benchmarks just feels like a knee-jerk reaction by nvidia.
