NVIDIA recalled the 6800 ultra

[lobshot]

Why is this not discussed on anantech?? NVIDIA has recalled all 6800 ultra's. Does anyone know why?
Apparently Nvidia has told everyone to keep the lid on this one. Whats up with that? It could be months before the 6800 really appears if ever. This is a scam unlike no other seen before. I am going
to cancell my oorder ASAP. NVIDIA wont even discuss it. ANANTECH can you dig into this one? WHATS UP with this silence???

 

[TStep]

links? Where did this info come from?

Hey there, what's your proof that this occured? I am skeptical of your accusation.

Im going to have to agree here. Posting such a topic, with no proof or link is bad form.

um, i really doubt it dude. if it were a recall, it wouldnt be from nvidia. it'd be from a card manufacturer like evga or sumthing. the gpu should be fine, since it's been tested a ton of times especially in benchmarks.

Where you heard it Mr. 2 posts?

I just orgered a 3800+ 939 AMD 64 based system from cyberpowersystem.com. I had selected the
6800 ultra cause Im tired of waiting for the x800 xt pe. So I call up to find out why my order is delayed.
Sales dude says all 6800 ultra's have been recalled and wont show up for weeks. What??? He says he's not supposed to tell me that but I should perhaps select a different card. That sucks. Is this a lie. I can't tell but thats what this sales dude told me not 20 minutes ago. All I'm asking here is: Does anyone actually have one of these cards? Does anyone know whats up with the supposed recall??

 

[Ackmed]

It certainly wouldnt be the first time some sales person was clueless.

 

[Cawchy87]

sounds like they don't have any in stock and that is his excuse for putting it on the website as instock. pretty lame salesmen, i would stay away from them.

 

[JBT]

I have seen many people with these cards. Essepcially over at NVnews.net. You posted this in GH and Video because some stupid sales rep told you so??? That is one of the stupidest things I have ever heard.

 

[LTC8K6]

Send an e-mail to Nvidia and explain what you were told and who told it to you.

That should fetch a response one way or the other.

I am betting that they just can't fill your order and are trying to cover up.

This is the same story I am getting now from other retailers of this card.

Not till 7/30 will this be available for anyone....

Why did you cross-post this Cindy ???

 

[SneakyStuff]

this thread can be disproved pretty simply, if "no one is to know" why would a store tell a customer? Go elsewhere, i've already got a complaint up agaisnt you in the forum issues anyway, if anyone would like to chime in, be my guest

 

[Fuchs]

Most likely it will be delayed further. I suspect vendors are all selling them before having them in stock, which means getting your hands on one will become a hunt. good luck.

There are a lot of sites advertising they have them in stock, when most won't.

No one like a tattle tale... besides we could have some great fun at his/her expense.

Okay okay I appologize for this thread. I have been scammed by a sales dude and Now I am the goat.
I called buyextremegear ad they told me its not recalled but its impossible to get. Sleazy sales people
will tell you anything.... Guess I'll go for the x800 pro....

 

[LTC8K6]

So you are saying the 6800ultra hasn't been recalled then?

That's what we all thought......

You may change your thread title(s) now.

Are you kiddin'? The goverment loves 'em so much they will pay 25 million if you could tell them where that kook Osama is hiding

 

[Fuchs]

If I were you I would opt out on the video for now and wait for a GT to become available.

 

[SneakyStuff]

why did you make your post in the general hardware forum look like nvidia was hiding some huge scam than? I'm just suspicious because of how you seemed to re-word everything in this thread...
