Yes, and they occupied two expansion slots (one AGP actually used, and the bulky size blocked one PCI). It wasn't just the 5800 I recall, many GF5 cards shared that feature.

Todays new GF5 cards are the entry level 5200. They are passively cooled and lean. That card is only recommended for office applications, browsing and low spec/old games.

I purchased an Asus GF TI4800 SE (yes, also SE) 3 years ago when I assembled this PIV system and not any of those new expensive GF5 cards. It was a very neat card, only replaced by a GF6600 last year because Half-Life 2 asked more power in higher resolution. I recall this GF4800 SE to outclass several GF5 in benches.

Ituralde, the case of the 5700LE shows that a card supporting a new feature, doesn't mean that it will perform better than a card that doesn't. A card needs to support the feature and needs to have the muscles to pull it off. Otherwise, it's better to have a card that does not support it at all. Then, hopefully, the software will scale to a level where that feature is not used, but run smoothly.
