    I'd say Fermi wasn't fine, woodscrews were the least of those problems. I'd say the 680 release was a fiasco, you may not remember that because you were already rocking your $1,500 rig at the time. Videos of cards catching on fire during reviews. The PX 2 "Pascal" really being a Fermi chip. The 970 3.5/4G VRAM issue. And that's just in recent years time... 

    Just because nVidia survived those doesn't mean everything is always tits and gravy. You may not recall all of those issues several months after they get smoothed over, but they are still issues - especially if you are one of the suckers early-adopters wanting one of those cards.
    I have no idea what you are saying.

    Sorry but I dont think I can explain it any other way so lets forget about it and you can just move on with your theories and I will try to ignore this thread until next month

    Please do not respond to me, even if I ask you a question, its rhetorical.

    In February, Micron said that they expected to start volume production of GDDR5X this summer.  Now they said they've already started and it's clearly not summer.  Clearly, something went better than they were willing to publicly project as of February.  If in February, they knew that they would start volume production in May, they'd have said they'd start it in May.

    As was said earlier, Nvidia was presumably in contact with Micron and knew of--and possibly influenced--Micron entering volume production of GDDR5X sooner.  This still doesn't make a hard launch of the GTX 1080 practical in May, but it might mean widespread availability of GTX 1080s in August rather than November.
    ...still pushing that, huh?

    Yeah, lack of self-reflection and critical thinking...like always :-P

    When Nvidia announced late May release, they very likely already knew Micron can deliver GDDR5X for launch....

    Looks like a great card for the past. Still using ddr ram is kind of a let down since pascal was slated for HMB . I like AMD's gpu designs better and will wait for the second gen HBM cards.
    Same here. I got a 980 and see no need to update until HBM is out.
