Nvidia have release there 2 new video cards, the FX5950 which i assume is the same as the 5900 with some tweaks, and the long awaited 5700 which fills the gap for that mid range performance video card.

the 5800 is the jet sounding one, code name “blowdryer” lol. the 5900 is redefined into something more quieter (still a touch noisy, but power to noise ratio, whos complaining ! )
