PNY Quadro FX5800 4GB http://www.retrevo.com/s/PNY-QUADRO-FX5800-4GB-PCIE-Graphic-Cards/id/23373dj491/t/1-2/ I've seen some prices for it more than $6,000. Why would anyone buy this if a $600 card with much more capability could plow through anything. There are even reviews saying that it's bad for gaming. |

Industrial GPU. |

Who would have thought they made computers for anything besides playing video games? Pulled this review off of newegg: --- Quote ---This is NOT a gamer's card. If you want gaming, go buy a GTX series nividia product. This card is based off of the GTX280 platform(240 processing cores), but with more ram and optimized through the BIOS for CAD applications. --- End quote --- It's a workstation card. It's $6000 because it goes into the computers of engineering firms that can afford to blow $12,000 on a computer so they can render automobiles and stuff. |

Like I said, industrial GPU. |
