Well folks, if you doubted NVIDIA’s ability to deliver GeForce FX 5900 on time, its official: the GeForce FX 5900 family has landed! In fact, the first wave of GeForce FX 5900 cards arrived last week. The eVGA e-GeForce FX 5900 Ultra card we’re reviewing today was the first GeForce FX 5900 Ultra card to hit the market, although other board partners are putting the finishing touches on their GeForce FX 5900 products as we speak.

With the arrival of GeForce FX 5900 and GeForce FX 5900 Ultra, NVIDIA finally has products to service the high-end segment of the 3D graphics market, a sector they’ve been MIA since Fall ’02. NVIDIA’s GeForce FX 5800 series was meant to take on this challenge, but product delays slipped it from September ’02 to Q1’03. As we all know by now, the product ultimately never shipped in significant quantities and has now been discontinued. To add insult to injury, NVIDIA has removed all traces of GeForce FX 5800 from its website.
