BFG Technologies, a graphics card company 2880549formed in part by former VisionTek employees, has announced that it is now sending out the first GeForce FX 5800 Ultra graphics cards. Cards based on Nvidia's high-performance GeForce FX design were expected to ship in February, and this is the first indication that final production cards will reach consumers' hands by the end of the month.
"We are proud to be the first company to deliver this significant new graphics product into the hands of our customers," said Shane Vance, executive vice president of sales for BFG. "We know how important it is to the preorder customer to be one of the first to own the latest graphics technology, and our efforts to deliver these products before anyone else have paid off."
When we looked at it last month, the 500MHz GeForce FX 5800 Ultra demonstrated performance in the ballpark of cards based on ATI's Radeon 9700. For more details, check out our hands-on preview.
