NVIDIA Releases Crap We Don’t Need, A 4GB Video Card

Pictured right, NVIDIA’s Quadro FX 5800, a video card that has more video RAM than most people have for system RAM.
Well I suppose if NVIDIA didn’t do it I’m sure someone else would have.
Did you just build the most awesomest superest kick-assing-est computer ever (most likely for gaming)? Well, guess what – it’s obsolete. Darn that modern technology.
Okay, in all seriousness, yes this card can be used (obviously) – but certainly not for gaming because what a waste that would be. If you want a real-world example of where this sucker can be put to good use, that would be medical imaging.
Oh, and if you want one, it’s $3,499.
And I swear, if I hear one gamer nerd say, "LOL HOW MANY FPS CAN I GET ON FULL SETTING CRYSIS WITH THAT?!" or anything to that effect, I will personally come to your house and kick you in the jewels.
