First, i'm merely presenting the opposing viewpoint. I'm sorry it offends you. I am neutral when it comes to purchasing graphics hardware, and I have fact bought the past 3 generations of nvidia cards including the 285, 480 and 580 sli. In addition to 5870, 6970, 7970. Now if Kepler is awesome, I won't be offended. I will go out and buy it, because I buy whats best. I'll tell you what I don't like: viral marketing and exaggerated rumors.Were you around in the 5870 days? This same kind of internet hype / BS was going around back then, especially with the entire anandtech / nvidia focus group fiasco. One of the Anandtech moderators, rollo, was actually part of the nvidia focus group and he would permanently ban anyone who said anything positive about AMD or negative about nvidia. Dont' believe me? google it! You would hear exaggerated claims of GTX 480 being 2x faster than the 5870. How Fermi would absolutely destroy the 5870. Just google nvidia focus group, nvidia did actually hire a firm that does such internet hype / viral marketing, and they had and still have an online group dedicated to such things. Now this kind of stuff I find distasteful.Now what really happened back then is after 6 months of absolutely worthless talk, the GTX 480 is released and is a power guzzling dust buster -- but 15% faster than 5870. And we all know later that NV perfected the Fermi with the GTX 580, which was and still is a great product.It really sounds like you want nothing but gushing over-exaggerated positive rumors about Kepler. Seeing as the main perpetrator of those claims was found to be a viral marketer, I think its fair enough to see the opposing view. As with all news and rumors, you have to take the good with the bad - it seems the main source for many of the Kepler "leaks" was not legit. Again, sorry if this offends you.
