not always. i could keep the original in case there were any issues down the road.

That view will likely get you a lot of scorn here. My personal view is that if I mod my hardware (e.g. by overlclocking, or using an aftermarket cooler), then I've voided my warranty and will eat the cost if it breaks down the road. You pays your money, you takes your chances. 😉

how much did you guys pay for the pe's? just wondering cuz i'm in canada too but i bought the us version.

$289 CAD - $28.90 (10% off) + 19.15GST + $21.89PST + $13.51S/H = $314.65 CAD

Obviously not as cheap as the US deal with tax, exchange, shipping, etc., but still a helluva deal (especially when you consider the equivalent X850XT would cost you at least $200CAD more here, taxes in).

BTW, for those of you who missed the PEs, the Canadian site now lists the AGP X800Pro as in stock. Not as good of a deal, but still pretty decent value.

I ended up paying $289 due to there being no PST here in alberta.

Ordered Aug 12 - Recieved the same Email.

Was told by the ATI rep that it would ship 3-5 days from today...but I take that as a grain of salt because I was also told it would be 2 weeks from a couple days ago...YMMV...

And I tested the theory if they will be charging or not...I placed an order with a card that was good and I knew it didnt have the balance on it to cover the card...and my order was held up...

So if you havent seen the charge I'm almost sure ATI has a hold on that $$$ and will get it in due time 🙁

Just as others predicted we are nearing the end of the month...and they seem to want to move these cards...

Ordered 8/12 as well, and had the same email waiting for me this morning. Also, I'm showing a pending charge of 244.61 on my credit card, which exactly matches the amount I paid, so it looks like I'm good! Unfortunately, I didn't search out the 5% or 10% off coupons until after I ordered, so I paid a little more than most of you.... Oh well - no complaints here!

At bootup, my card's fan spins louder and then quiets down after a few seconds. I even noticed it speeding up at times while running 3DMark05. Its almost like there's a temp sensor on it and kicks the fan up.

And yes... there is

Does a pretty good job cooling. Run ATI Tools to find max and the temp shoots up like 1 degree C. every 2 seconds and close the program and cools back down to 42 in just a few seconds

Heh, whoah, must be cold in your office 🙂 Mine never goes below 48C idle, it's only 77 F ambient, good case flow.

@ idle, just internet, word stuff, mine is ~38-39C and my room temp is 84F

I bloody know it🙂 AND I just know a "refurbed" X800XT PE in PCI-E for $229.00 will be listed next. RATS...trying to predict near term video card prices these days is worse than playing the stock market!!!

 

[vmarkx3]

Got mine..... working out well... paid $206 delivered TV output looks somehow better then my old 9800pro's. The one I got has very little room for overclocking, which I wont bother with anyways... It'll last me for good 3+ years....

Let's thank otaec for heads up!

ZipZoomFly has the following X800 Pro in stock for $199.00 shipped free:

MSI RX800PRO-TD256E Radeon X800 Pro PCI Express 256MB DDR Video Card w/TV-Out & DVI Retail ***Free 2nd Day***

NO VIVO.

MSI comes with a nice bundle too. I guess that's why their cards are usually more $$$.

[andy9o]

so, got my X800XT PE, anyone interested in buying it from me?

 

[mindgam3]

So how do you track the shipment, i got a email saying the shipment has been released but i dont know how to track it the ati page has not updated my account information?

 

[moonboy403]

so did anyone get canceled or left out of the deal?

 

[pxc]

I don't think anyone missed out unless they waited too long and ATI pulled it from the refurb page.

The PCI-E and AGP x800 Pro cards are now $179. Use the 5% off coupon and either one is around $184 shipped.

If anyone's order has actually shipped, you may be able to track it by reference on FedEx's site: <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="https://www.fedex.com/AltRefTracking?link=1&cntry_code=us&lid=//Track//Pack+Track+Ref+Corp">https://www.fedex.com/AltRefTracking......s&lid=//Track//Pack+Track+Ref+Corp</a>

The reference number on my last ATI video card was the order number with -01 added to the end (i.e. CNL19xxxxx-01). My 2 orders don't show up yet, but my credit card has a funds hold on it for the 2 amounts.
