Actually, I think nvidia didn't want to use Fermi for the gaming market. It's powerful but it's not a gaming card really, it's just got so much grunt it can pretend that it is.

Charlie said they had planned a different card but scrapped it and only had Fermi in reserve so they had to make it fit. And I agree with him, Fermi could not really be nvidia's first choice for the gaming market, they would have known it would be a bastard to make but when you're planning to sell at 5k each it's not a issue.
