NVIDIA’s Quadro FX 5800 with 4GB graphics memory is ‘the most powerful graphics card in history’

The Quadro FX 5800, already seen in NVIDIA’s Quadro Plex D data cruncher, replaces the 5600 at the top of the NVIDIA heap with 240 CUDA-programmable parallel cores and the industries first card with 4GB of graphics memory. MSRP? Just $3,499 for you big spender — pennies for the companies who can harnass the power for the purposes of oil and gas exploration, 4D modeling, and graphics design.
