NVIDIA has released their long rumored Quadro FX 5800 graphics card for consumers. This monstrosity was previously seen in NVIDIA’S Quadro Plex D data cruncher. It replaces the 5600 at the top of the NVIDIA food chain. The FX 5800 contains 240 CUDA-programmable cores and sets a new standard with 4GB of graphics memory. The only drawback? The suggested retail price is $3,499. Good graphics do not come cheap.
