its Dec 1st, where is X1600XT?

[rmed64]

ATI, bad bad bad. Said it would ship the 30th of november, but i've seen nothing on it yet

 

[golem]

Maybe they meant ship to retailers.

 

[drum]

are you really clamoring to get one?

 

[Soccerman06]

who cares? The X1600 sucks

 

[kamranziadar]

No body care about it.

 

[Wreckage]

I think ATI only announces products, they don't actually make any.

LOL good one!!!

anyway you can get the 6800GS which is a way better deal than that or probably wait for the 7800GS which is supposed to launch Q1 next year I think, it should crush the X1600XT at about the same price!! Considering Nvidia recent track record it should be available at launch.

 

[Gamingphreek]

wait for the 7800GS

Which will never be here

 

[Steelski]

the X1600 was pulled because of its abismal performance. but they are reworking it with a 256bit bus so it would be competative.

This is what i heard anyway. I dont think it is gone forever.

 

[HighCalibreHooch]

Woah woah woah you lost me gentlemen. Can you explain what's going on?

I thought it was ATI's business plan to stop all production this fall. They were going to keep their stock afloat by simply paper-launching products every business cycle until someone notices.

 

[Zenoth]

They don't actually make any ... but I own an ATi card that's written "Built By ATi" on the box. How strange ... I must be ATi myself and I must have made it last night, but I forgot about it.

Yeah.

Its going for the same price as 6600GT (preorders), so its a good deal in that sense.

 

[Munky]

I seriously doubt anyone is gonna buy the x1600 even if it was available. With a 128bit bus and only 4 texture units, it sux at any game that doesnt have the shader load of 3dmark. They could either sell it for $100 - $150, or redesign it with a more balanced architecture. Otherwise it might as well be the next nv30.

ATI is PR firm for vaporware.

EDIT: Stab @ the Nv camp.


Did ATI announce the GTX 512?

 

[ropscot]

I saw somewhere, that the x1600 perfromed really well in call of duty, I use to be a ATI fan but they need to get there dates right, because now I am goign to stick with nvidia

 

[rmed64]

Im not gonna get one, I already have a 6600GT, but I was still interested in what it could do with official drivers and for how much it could oc. I'm always watching the mid range class cards and their pricing.

:roll:

They have issues that is for sure but then again so does every company the world over. Yeah, it looks like all their products are now simply paper-launched :roll: The real test will be the R580 which they have stated doesn't have any issues with production. If they release it on time in January/February timeframe (of 2006 LOL) then I think this rather getting old bashing will silence for awhile.

Disclaimer: I own ATI stock (bought at $10.50) and an actual 7800GTX :laugh:

They have been avail over seas for about a week, such as in Greece, Denmark, etc. Perhaps they are getting them first, instead of last like usual.

That's sort of weird, unless they're having supply problems.

LOL that's pretty funny!

 

[ropscot]

There is one on ebay as well from the UK

 

[nRollo]

Maybe they're with the X700XTs?
