or

WOWZERS %20 faster than 5870 on avg with AA, even better minimum FPS performance, its performance advantage rises with tessellation & DX11 so it's kinda more future proof, PhysX is a nice thing to have if nothing, new card & architecture means its performance will only go better with time and it and only %25 more expensive.

I know the power / heat issue will be a decisive backbreaker for a lot of people, but when you think about everything, I think that this launch was actually near decent. The card definitely has potential and even if buying a Fermi product might make less sense than buying a Radeon today, I feel things will get much better for Nvidia from this point.
True, but until someone builds a functional machine based on Einstein's theories, time has a bad habit of keep going forward.

Will it be more sensible to buy "a Fermi product" after ATI launches it's 6xxx series in a few months? It's a rethorical question, btw.

People should buy whatever suits their needs on a given day. There's allways something faster or revolutionary around the corner.
