I think you should have taken a pass on the 5800 because it was basically a mistake to ever
release it.
Even Nvidia jokes about the 5800 and admits its not a good card. Return it and get the 5900
before its too late.


Nvidia's CEO said it was 'not successful'. Please provide a link to Nvidia 'joking' about it
being a 'bad card'.

The chip was 'released' as a Quadro for professional use before the 'dustbuster' debacle on the
consumer cards ever surfaced.

The 5900 is the same chip with a wider memory interface and an improved FPU.

If the 5800 is available and significantly less expensive that the 5900 it makes perfect sense
to buy one.
