Shipping worked out to be $10 for me.

Site has an excellent reseller rating as opposed to gateway. I just cancelled there and ordered here. The $15 extra is worth it.

HWGA (here we go again). The real question; are they "in stock" and ready to ship?

 

[themorningbells]

Is there a difference between an x800xt and a x800xt platinum? Do I cancel my gateway order? Ahhh! Help! Immediately!

 

[GeneralGrievous]

The platinum is the faster version

 

[edmundoab]

man this is confusing too,
I too ordered from Gateway and I don't know if its the right choice.

 

[themorningbells]

So it goes x800xt pe > x800xt > x800 pro? I thought it only came in x800xt and x800 pro flavors? So I'm mistaken, and the PE is definately faster than this? Ahh the tempation of 'in stock'!

 

[GeneralGrievous]

The X800 XT non platinum edition is a rumor. Currently only the XTPE and the Pro exist. This card is an XT PE, I think, it has 520 mhz core.

 

[KpocAlypse]

um, was it XT>Pro>SE ?

XT=Plat?

EDIT: yea, what GG said...

 

[GeneralGrievous]

XT=Plat?

EDIT: yea, what GG said...

It's retarded isn't it? Why don't they fix their naming system so it isn't awkward to say?

 

[tbooth]

Damn, out of stock already, hehe.

 

[themorningbells]

Sigh. By the time I had the naming system down, and realized it was the same as the PE. Out of stock. Die naming inconsistencies.

 

[ronnn]

That seems like a good price for an abit card. Maybe the the ATI cards will be cheaper than first thought. :beer:

 

[ericlp]

I dunno what the big question is.... Gateway description of the card is this....

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION ATI RADEON X800 XT Platinum Edition - graphics adapter - ATI RADEON X800 XT - 256 MB
RAMDAC CLOCK SPEED 400 MHz


It is the Platnum Edition. As far as I know... ATI only sells two flavors of the x800 Pro or XT. I've heard of the SE but no one I know seems to have much data on it.

Seems to me there is a bit of paranoia going on.

Model
RADEON X800 XT Platinum Edition 520Mhz 16 Pipelines 1120 Mem Speed
RADEON X800 PRO 475Mhz 12 PipeLines 900 Mem Speed
RADEON X800 SE ??? 8 Pipelines

 

[GeneralGrievous]

Has anyone else ordered this product?

 

[aggressor]

I would if it wasn't backordered

 

[ek0st0ns]

Yeah I ordered one. Was lucky enough to order one while they were in stock. The order is still being processed. Hopefully they actually have them in stock or else I am gonna be really pissed :|.

 

[GeneralGrievous]

I hear they are either shipping out on the 10th or estimated receiving date is the 10th.

 

[ek0st0ns]

My order has just been packed. $480 for an X800 XT is a great deal. I can't wait .
