The actual time increase on a 18"x24" real size render in autoCad or 3dMax for the 5900 vs my ATI 7600 with 64mb ddr is uselessly small. Thats because in the graphics business i still need my cpu to crunch the vector data before it can render, making my cpu and ddr memory busses of crucial importance. Were at most talking 15-20sec saved which is not worth such a price difference.
So truly the only people these are being made for is the small population of gamers and those that love the bleeding edge

um the accual render time is based off the CPU, not the GPU, the GPU come into play when you render on the fly, ie the preview window, a beefy card healps when you are veiwing complex senes such as 100,000 poly's or more and extensive textures.
