Has Anyone Ordered Directly From ATI???

Has anyone ordered an x800 xt from ATI directly. On their site it lists it ias 'temporarily unavailable'. Still, their price for an x800 xt pe is only 500 (which it should be but good luck finding it in stock for that price). I was just curious if anyone has done this, and how much time it took for them to receive their card. I am looking at getting either an x800 xt or an x800 xt pe. If nobody knows how fast ATI can get me the product, anyone got any other suggestions for getting my hands on one of these sweet cards FAST?
 
Never ordered directly from ATI, but this may be of some help.

According to another thread put up just recently today, you may want to check any Best Buy stores near you. The author and the BB site (for me atleast) indicate that stores have some X800XT cards in stock, but I'd either call or atleast check the site if I was you.

Thread here
 
I ordered a X800XT PE from shopATI about the beginning of August, should be here within the next 4 weeks 🙂

hmmm....maybe I should just wait for it to become more available (and therefore cheaper), cause I don't see the point in getting it now for full price when in 4 weeks it might be cheaper at someplace like newegg.
 
I wouldn't recomend shopATI for this particular card if you're in a hurry...luckily I'm in no hurry.
 
Looks like by the time this card will be available, it will be old technology and a new high end card will take its place. Oh, well. Or if someone was so desperate, they could buy it on eBay and pay through the nose for one. Screw that. I want this card but I'll take a wait and see approach to this issue. Maybe something better will be in the horizon.
 
I went to the ATI site and looked at the x800 xt PE again. Damn, $499 is surely a great price for that card. I just might just take the plunge and bite the bullit.

rbV5: has it really been that long since you ordered this card from ATI?
 
rbV5: well if it will take that long for you, I'm looking at Christmas at best to get one. I decided to take the plunge and order one from ATI. That's a great price - if you can get one that is. Mahalo!
 
lol at the people who will pay 500 dollars for a graphics card...then by the time they get their hands on it...the next generation cards will be out...

Ditto from me too, tfinch2. WTF you worried about tfinch2? It is a good card at this point in time and I don't see any other card in the near future that I would want to wait for. If another one comes out before I get this one, I can always cancel out as ATI mentioned to me on their confirmation order email.

I guess tfinch2 is jealous that some can and he can't😉

Dude do us all a favor and find another forum to post your inflammatory drivel. :roll:

The video forum is seriously going downhill. Don't they have a disclaimer saying that you have to be 18 years old to be allowed to post here? The mods had better start cracking down on this nonsense. It's getting more and more difficult to have an intellectual discussion. The last time I checked, that was the whole point of these forums.

obviously not an "enthusiast".

Oi!!!!!!! Not only have you stolen my avatar... you also stole my 'e-penis' phrase

Cheeky little monkey


Note to all - the length and girth of my e-penis is significatly greater than the sum width of all the e-ladies pleasure pots 😉

 
9700pro lasted 2 years and still going strong. Hell, even the GF4 still has life in most games.

And I don't know about you but I would rather be playing D3 and FC @ 16x1200 Max quality then sticking Rims on my 98 Accord.
 
Got an email from ATI that the X800 XT PE should be available by Nov 15...of this year😀. Great news if others have placed a pre-order on the ShopATI site.

I didn't hold my breath on this one. I called ATI to find out if I would be getting my order in any time soon (blind faith, I guess) and of course they didn't come through. Now the date that "maybe" the video card would be available is at the ending of December:disgust:. It seems like this particular video card is just vaporware:frown: - all talk but a no show.

Oh, whatever. My 9800 Pro flashed to an XT will hold me over till the next great *enthusiast* ATI card - whenever that is.

All the best in the forum.
 
Yup, dang it:frown:

Between my screwed up 6800 and my delaaaaaayed x800xt PE, it hasn't been the best year for vid card purchases.

Good thing my AIW 9700pro is still going strong and my MCE rig is keeping me busy.
