Nvidia confirms the GTX 580

What I cant understand is WHY they didnt go with this solution for original GTX480! That is the only thing that still gives me some hope. There must something else dammit
Or then, they are only admitting their own stupidity, which would be also a first

Well they achieved what they needed to with the 480 which was simply enough to take the single gpu pole position.

Just cause they have no more time to fix it, they was allready 5-6month late... at the moment they have find a way to release the GTX480 and 470, they have do it .... ( and it look like the solution, was to disable what was buggy ). then It seems they have continue to work on it and there you get the GTX580...

Or maybe they just messed up on the design of Fermi and it was really hard to get the process down. Now they've had some more experience, and the 580 can actually be produced at reasonable yields etc. but they needed a product out 6 months ago
