Our own Sources confirmed that NVIDIA now does not want to launch the GeForce FX-based graphics cards in mass quantities. The Inquirer last week reported that the Santa Clara, California graphics processors developer does not want to produce more than 100 thousands of the GeForce FX VPUs. Moreover, given rather unsatisfactory results of reviews, NVIDIA now is not going to supply a lot of graphics cards for gamers, but concentrate on Quadro FX products as well as NV31, NV34 and NV35 product development.

In case only 100 thousands of graphics processors were produced, expect that there will be very few GeForce FX 5800 Ultra graphics cards at all, since the yields of higher-end cards that run at 500/1000MHz are not really high. So, if you still desire to get one of those rare GeForce FX 5800 Ultra beasts, pre-order one now or you will be too late. Consider that there are just 100 thousands of chips, a lot of them will be used for Quadro FX cards (these run at low core-speeds!), part of them will be supplied to partners who sell personal computers for gamers, as a result, there will be very few to be sold in retail and we should keep in mind that there should be two versions: 5800 and 5800 Ultra.

The GeForce FX 5800 Ultra now became a legendary hero that was never born, just like the 3dfx Voodoo 6000.
