Precisely. These were overpriced hot garbage when they came out. I was in the demographic that, while I could certainly afford them, avoided them like they were the plague. You must have been an Nvidia fanboy or a loon to have bought one of these at retail price, especially the Ultra. They were too hot, too noisy, and had no where near the performance-per-dollar metric the competition had. Even Nvidia considers them a failure.No, the high end FX series cards are rare because they were crap and nobody bought them because the Radeon 9800 Pro curb stomped them. Nvidia made a fatal mistake half-assing their DirectX 9.0 support on the FX series, resulting in significant performance penalties when the card ran DirectX 9 games. If you fell back to DirectX 8.1, the card was a decent performer, but nobody wanted to pay $400 for a card with half-assed features.
Heat probably caused issues for these cards, but it does on all power hungry cards.
Sold for $338.95...
Some people have more money than sense.
pics? how much to part with it?Oh man. I still have a 5800 Ultra. I should throw that on the internet.
