Hmm.. mine still shows Estimated Ship Date of August 29. I saw some messages about people receiving them much sooner than the estimated ship date said.

What is the latest estimated date for which the cards have already shipped? Anyone in the 8/25 - 8/26 range? Trying to figure out if they are catching up with their backlog...

Thanks.
 
Well I ordered mine originally estimated 8/15. Then on Friday it said it was backordered but still estimate of 8/15 then on the 15th it went on delay estimated 8/26. I called in rep said something about 17th. I checked earlier today nothing then a few hours ago checked again and it had been picked up and on its way from Visalia.
 
Got mine today via DHL also. They left it at the door. The box was semi open--like the clear tape at top had "come off." The card box seemed intact. Have to wait for the mb comes here Friday to check out everything.

 
I think you should get teh x850xt deal instaead ($250) on fatwallet.com. Text
keep in mind the evga 7800 gt comes out of the box O/Ced already. Most out-of-the box O/Cs and non-out-of-the-box O/Cs will O/C to about the same amount manually anyway.


the performance difference isnt' that much. I dont' think it warrants a 40% price increase ( i wouldnt' consider that a full generational change difference)
 
The cardboard box looked good, but one corner of the card's box was dented. Will be installing it along with a secong gig of memory during lunch. 🙂
 
Nice!

Does anyone know what this means?

Transit through sort facility. <--- Mine has been doing that all day yesterday and now today. Any chance the are just dumb and it is shipped out already?

Good to know, thanks 🙂 Hope your upgrade went smoothly!

My estimated ship date got bumped to the 22nd, but I got a tracking number, so who knows?

26th here. I ordered BEFORE a friend who got his already. I spent 2 hrs yelling at dell for them to expedite my shipment. No change so far.
 
DLeRium, I notice you don't list the Voodoo in your rig spec list, why? 😛

I seriously hope that you get your card soon. Hopefully it will ship sooner than expected, like mine seems to have done. 🙂 I can't believe that Dell would pull that on you... on the other hand, Dell seems to be Wal-Mart of PC's and not too customer focused sometimes...
 
Just got mine. The cardboard box was a little bit dented like it fell and hit an edge. the 7800GT box itself was also a little lumped in but not too bad so hopefully everything is fine. Sorry for those who said I'd sell it new if I sell it its gonna be open (well havent opened it yet.. just waiting for other parts) 😛
 
Ok - I did call them and begged for the card earlier - but all I got was my shipping upgraded to Next Day 🙁

Wish I could 😛

Anyway, mine has made it to Cedar Rapids, IA! It must really be shipped! Hurray! 🙂
 
IT JUST GOT DELIVERED! w00t! Quick, now is your chance to go find my home place out in rural Iowa and take it off my porch 😛
 
Anyone want to trade theres for a psp bundle ? I have the original value pack that came with the spiderman, 2 games, 512mb duo stick,
Logitech playgear case, And I bought the bb 2 year warranty so you can get a new one if youd like.
 
I had the deal from Dell, but just cancelled the other night. Got tired of waiting since they pushed my ship date out. Got a Evga 7800gt coming for $389 shipped and will sell the copy of BF2 it comes with to a friend so the deals endu up pretty even after all is said and done.
