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.
