A lucky winner of a contest held by NVIDIA Corporation recently now sells his GeForce FX 5900 Ultra graphics card via eBay, as The Inquirer found out. The boy sells the stuff for $900, however, the reserve price is astonishing $1500.
Being the fastest 3D gaming graphics card of today, the GeForce FX 5900 Ultra with 256MB of DDR SDRAM memory and mind-blowing speed in 3D games (see our own review here) will retail for $499 next month. Its performance is similar to than that of the RADEON 9800 PRO 256MB DDR-II SDRAM that is for sale now for the same $499. Does it make sense to buy a graphics card for more than $1000 or maybe even more than $1500 in order to play computer games? Well, you decide. You may wait for a number of weeks and then get the same graphics card for $499, however, you now have a chance to get it before other boys and girls who are looking forward to get NVIDIA GeForce FX 5900 Ultra.
Here is the link for you if you are interested.

few years ago for this performance i would think it is a decent price. but w/ all the improvements, lower production cost and competition, this price just seems insane. especially when u can buy 2 comp cases w/ basic hardware and each w/ maybe 9500pro cards. who needs this kinda crazy ass power at this time when this power will be only great for doom3 and which is a while away yet. and other thing nvidia is selling that shit for 499$ so y pay extra 500$, and the last time i checked one of the posts in the community, this card was going for 1000$.
