[Marcus Yam]

Buyers itching to get rid of their stack of Benjamins for a Fermi will have to hold off for a bit longer, it seems.

Typical of Fermi.
Even later than it should have been.

 

[buddhav1]

oh dear lord no. not another week! I couldn't possibly wait another week!

/sarcasm

At least they're trying to avoid mistakes. Grey Screening 5xxx series card?

 

[jrharbort]

Another week delay? A week alone in the tech industry is like a year in a gamer's eyes.

All of these delays is only hurting Nvidia's potential market.

This is kinda turning into the Duke Nukem Forever of GPUs.

The GTX 480 doesn't even have 512 cores like it was originally supposed to have...

 

[Tomtompiper]

My guess of an April first launch was close. Is it true that they are including some sliced bread in the Retail boxes to show off the new Toast making function?

 

[Zinosys]

Now tell me why this sounds familiar...

I think I have a case of déjà vu...

Marketing 102, never release an unfinished product

Better late than never.

Maybe they should concentrate more on delivering Fermi to consumers instead of setting up "I hate Intel" websites. Just an idea.

 

[MrBradley]

@OvrClkr

We want it to be released so we can see whether or not our criticisms actually hold any water.

Marketing 103: Never promise a release date and not have it ready.

 

[EXT64]

Not really surprising, they were running out of time for their original date. Is a bummer though.

 

[techktl]

Why am i not surprised. And it has nothing to do with patience, it's all the constant promises that are being broken. I wouldnt be surprised if this is released somewhere in may, jun.

 

[ubergeek]

At least they didn't bump it back to April 1. Wouldn't that be a hoot... APRIL FOOLS! we don't really have it ready...

 

[razercultmember1]

But can it release Fermi?...

 

[sakatainx]

Do we all know the reason of the delay...???
Because the product is not yet ready and NV try to maintain our patience and attention to keep waiting their product using all the delay announcement.
It's amazing many ppl still waiting Fermi like a promising prophet LOL
While actually NV are busy prepare them self to sue Intel in the court.

Finally once the product launch it cost 600$ this will not push to lower the 5xxx price, and after 2 months price will drop into 400$, consider we have to waited additional 2 months for reasonable price.
Later after 3 months Overclock version will shown with a new label GTX 490 or maybe GTX 4840 LOL

 

[megamanx00]

:shock:

Oh the shock. The horror. The "I completely expected this" .

 

[rebturtle]

Is this card going to ship with "Duke Nukem Forever"?

 

[maximiza]

they had amazing boxes though,this is depressing

 

[darkguset]

The best release date should have been the 1st of April! At least when they don't come on the market and people complain, NVIDIA can say, hey what did you expect for April fool's day?

Marketing 104: Never release a fake product with wood screws and tell people, "it's real".

Seriously, delays for this product keeps on coming. So when would we be able to see some long overdue benchmarks?

Tell that to Microsoft.

guess this means I have to wait longer for benchmarks
