This rant is pretty famous, you'll probably remember it. And after reading it through, it actually is "semi-accurate". While he did overplay how bad the 480GTX would be, he was spot on about the card being "unmanufacturable", nvidia have not been able to market a 512 shader part after a year of making them. They are either broken or they can't get to target clocks without going over 300 watts.

ATI have much more room to move on 40nm, beating the 480 isn't impossible for them as long as they're careful about it.
you did it nevertheless!
thx man, appreciated

about fermi never being meant as a graphics card... i dont think so... its limited enough as a gp processor to make it unlikely that it was originally built for that alone... but i wouldnt be surprised if gf100 was originally planned for 32nm... but since they were ahead of ati by so much (back then) and they knew about intel lrb... they probably thought they could use a shortcut and squeeze it into 40nm... very risky... and it kinda blew up in their face, heh

if it would have worked out... very good... but really, it was pretty weird to expect it to work out fine... there were so many things that could go wrong, and its soooo unlikely it all would have worked out...

but you gotta give props to nvidia, for how much went wrong, they took it amazingly well imo... they took a big blow but they didnt even get on their knees let alone fall... but from now on nvidia needs to make stable steps, if they get another serious hit they will def be on their knees soon...
