You guys seem to be forgetting about the Titan Supercomputer, obviously it was much more important than selling cards to gamers also tesla cards which have much higher profit margins would take propriety.

I'm certainly not.

Stop trolling me. I never said Nvidia would have ordered the wafers on such short notice. Obviously, that would have had to happen months in advance.

You admit it. They couldn't have released consumer cards at that time. Thanks.

Anyhow, the "if they could they would" logic not always applies ,it depends, intel could release an 8 core for desktop in the 200-300$ price range long ago.but they didnt,and probably wont even next year.And with high probability even a year after that :[

Intel comparison doesn't apply, it is apples and oranges.
A majority of the associated R&D/manufacturing costs were already paid for with GK110.
There would be absolutely no reason for them to hold back a launch for so long.... which comes back to the "if they could have, they would have."
