it's nothing more than a GTX 260/280 with different drivers

they crip drivers for the gaming cards, then un-crip them to create the pro versions that they sell for ten times more money

AMD/ATI does the same, but at least there you can mod a radeon to get a firegl (amd uses a software lock, nvidia uses a hardware lock)

The question is: Will it blend ?


Jk, the real question is:

Can it play crysis with full max settings ?

Sounds like this would be a monster Folding@Home card. Or really sweet Physx processor.

I have one of these in the loft still with original box for a few years now. I would love to get $3500 for it ;)

Shame it sounds like a hairdryer! :(

I'm shocked that "FX" and the number "5800" have come back! Surely that's a painful memory for Nvidia. I've not looked it up, but if there was a GeForce Card, wheres the Quadro FX 5800 from that hairdryer period?

Hummm....

Poor Nvidia when will they learn they can't keep screwing people with their crappy products. I hope they go bankrupt.

FX 5800 doesn't make me think of a well made card.

Instead I remember that my vacuum is dying :(

Nvidia claims a 52 billion texels per second fill rate for the Quadro FX 5800 on their website. http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_11761.html
