It MIGHT be enough, it might not, we still can't really tell the long term repercussions of this issue. But as far as i can observe, the chip itself is quite resilient, but the VRM that was blowing all over the place. You can debate the severity if this "incidents", how widespread etc, but the issue is there, raised by legitimate sources around the web, and even nVidia did make some actions to remedy the alleged problem.

For a highend, high tag price card, that was supposed to be targeted for enthusiast, the design of this card is simply underwhelming for my taste. The graphic chip used is plenty promising, the card design simply don't deliver that promise, for enthusiast aka OCing user out there. When OCing is your trump card, OCing is good (remember Bart launch that was challanged officially by an OFFICIALLY preOCed cards), but when OCing is blowing your card, OCing is the work of the devil, eh ??
first, you haven't answered my question. Why the VRM design is weak and insufficient ??

Secondly, the only VRM that faild was in W1zzards GTX590 review. All the other GTX590 photos doesnt show a VRM fail.

Thirdly, enthusiasts are not only people who OC/OV.

Fourth and the best part, the GTX590 can OC/OV.

[H] GTX590 @ 723MHz with 0.963V AIR (default cooling)
