Finding the Nvidia Geforce FX 5900 Ultra!

what is the story on this "fx" card series i've seen lately... is it the successor to the recent "Ti/42/44/4600 " that was most recent? or is it some sort of spinoff? lemme know
It's pretty much the successor to the Geforce 4 Ti line. I have heard that Nvidia will release budget versions of the 5900 along the same lines as the Geforce 4 Ti line. About damn time I think...
I think those drivers are cheating in benchmarks... I don't see how it's possible that they went from 80 something to 200 something in Quake3 on the FX 5800. Not to mention the 5900 gets the same EXACT score for every resolution. Something stinks if you ask me.
well it's funny how cheap the FX 5800 cards are nowadays if you look on pricewatch...even the 128MB 5800 Ultra's can be had for about $150!
That kinda pisses me off since I dropped a lotta cash on a Radeon 9500 like a moron trying to hack it into the 9700(both cards I tried didn't work with the hack, artifacting) so now I'm stuck with it. *sigh*
Spare hardware bin: P4 1.6Ghz, Radeon 9500/GF4 Ti4200 VIVO(trying to decide which to keep...they're both kinda neat!)
See the funny thing is ATI and Nvidia both have really awesome features on the GF4 and Radeon 9500...like nvidia's twinview can put directx on two screens but ATI's dual monitor system can't. On the other hand, the ATI system makes dual monitoring slightly more livable than nvidia's insane system hogging twin view setup, plus I like how you can lock refresh rates for the individual screens(probably more important to me than other people because the stupid CRT has a problem where a wire came loose so it screeches at certain refresh rates, plus my LCD[primary display] is at 60Hz so even if it didn't screech I'd go blind)
On the other hand the ATI system allows dragging of the DirectX window over to the other screen...nvidia's twinview doesn't manage so well with this and goes bonkers...however the ATI system is still limited by programs properly supporting it(for example WMP works fine, while BSplayer and PowerDVD go insane and start blanking out or fullscreening on the primary display for some reason)...but this can be fixed with the primary display toggling....and I think this can be hotkeyed...both cards are have their own halfassed solutions that would make one SOLIDASSED solution but dammit they're in different cards!
If only they could combine the best of both worlds and release the RadeonForce 12000 Ultra PRO with 1GB of QDR2 clocked at 1Ghz with a 512bit memory bus and 9 nanometer fabbed core running at 1Ghz AND not take up a PCI slot too!
but yeah I'm dreaming...I thought with 3dfx in their fold nvidia would rock so hard, but the gffx has just been sorta: "wtf are they smoking"

With all of the benchmarks that have been done on this card already I seriously doubt thats possible. Leave this to the experts!
