Ati X800 cards in the stores next week ?. Ha, ha..... I have a bridge.......
I note the Ati statement about shipping the X800 Pro next week
and the X800 XT Platinum by May 21.......... Maybe in Canada... Certainly not in the US. Log on to the Ati website and see if you can order any version of the X800 from the USA list. There are 3 X800 sources listed: Ati, Best Buy, CompUSA. Neither the Best Buy, nor CompUSA links lead to anything but the top level of their sites -- burrowing down, no sign of the X800, just the 9800 downwards... On Ati, the card can be ordered with 5-7 day delivery from the ship date for the X800 @ $449 ( plus shipping ), but no ship date is listed anywhere. In fact I did a little experiment on the ATi site ... filled in all the details for ordering their X800 Pro, up to entering my credit-card number --- still no sign of any proposed ship date !! Very fishy.... The price of the 9800XT/256 on the Ati site is still $499 US. Is that price going to suddenly drop to $299 next week ? No sign of any X800 deliveries to Newegg either, and Newegg's price is ~ $449 for the 9800XT 256. ( And the 9800 FireGL DDR2 @ $759 !!!). I could see Newegg just being a little pi**ed off having to suddenly drop 9800XT 256 prices by ~ $150 (probably to well below dealer- cost) to make room for the X800 Pro at $399. --- lots of returns of 9800 XT of all types by retailers to Ati............. I vaguely remember the overheated Ati marketing machine making the exact-same statement that the 9700 was shipping to "stores next week" when it first came out. They eventually did arrive.. 2-3 months later..... Feel welcome to refute the above statements, but only when you have had your X800 order accepted from your favorite dealer AND you have received the Tracking Number via Fedex/UPS/Airborne........ Meanwhile, I am in the bridge-selling business.......... John Lewis |

Maybe it will go lower. -- Ed Light Smiley :-/ MS Smiley :-\ Send spam to the FTC at Thanks, robots. |

Trolls live under bridges, don't they John ? You're really flailing away like a man possessed now. Why can't you just accept the bleedin' obvious ? ATI whacks Nvidia once again. |

Just to be pedantic, redTed, the term "trolls" in this context refers to the method of angling whereby you let your baited hook float through a swim or trail behind a boat to see what you can pick up. Not the mythical creatures that, amongst other endearing habits, are supposed to live under bridges. ;-) patrickp - take five to email me |

... Meanwhile, I am in the bridge-selling business.......... John Lewis LOL what I (honestly) see in your post is an NVIDIA fanboy who is upset over how good the X800 cards are. I trust you read the following?... http://www.hardocp.com/article.html?art=NjExLDEw Why can't people be agnostic when it comes to hardware? I judge a product on its merits, not who it is made by. |

Who are you calling a dork and why? Lewis is right, BB doesn't have **** on
the X800. Is it me, or does ATI have way too many cross posters? Go talk **** on your own board. I saw the test results, ATI only has an advantage in AA. IQ isn't an issue, nor is the power consumption which is being blow way out of hand. "who be dat?" wrote in message ... Eh, you might want to check out BestBuy.com dork...
