The last time Nvidia shipped a product called "FX 5800," things didn't turn out so well. This time, Nvidia has brought back the FX 5800 moniker to define its latest and greatest Quadro professional graphics card, which packs a whopping 4GB of memory and seems to be based on the same GT200 GPU as the company's fastest desktop offerings.

The Quadro FX 5800 is launching at $3,499, and its spec sheet looks well furnished: 240 stream processors, fill rate of 52 billion texels per second, 128-bit precision, true 10-bit color support, 102GB/s memory bandwidth (which should translate to an 800MHz GDDR3 clock speed, if my math is right), and "interactive 4D modeling with time lapse capabilities." Nvidia says the Quadro FX 5800 should be well suited to applications like "oil and gas exploration, medical imaging, styling and design, and scientific visualization."
