Come back with some real proof. I have heard so many companies come up with bs stories like this--blaming someone else just to cover up the fact that they're having a problem themselves.

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

hehe...that would buy a lot of video cards. Speaking of recalls...you know if a soldier finds him they get nadda... maybe a bronze star..lame.
I'd cap him, bury him, and come dig him up after my enlistment was up :laugh: j/k of course...or am I? :p

That'd be quite impressive - getting away from your unit alone, taking down a man who is almost assuredly heavily guarded by supporters and getting his body out somewhere that you could safely bury it.

I'd say you'd would have earned your millions.

Infamous ATi forum troll. A search of the archives would probably turn her up. I forget the numbers she use in the handle though.

Awesome. Would you also escort some Iranian (is that correct?) refugees to Kuwait in pursuit of a better life?

What? That's nothing like the plot of Three Kings.

You are off on a tangent I see, but it's still more relevant than this pathetic thread :)

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???

*yawn* Sorry, wake me up again when something important happens. *snooze*


PS. "months before the 6800 really appears" - right, that's why some people have posted pics of their nice shiny new PNY 6800s and 6800 GT cards, right?

I'll concede that NV might possibly be having yield problems, or there may be supply constraints on obtaining the necessary quantities of the ultra-fast GDD3 memory needed to make the high-end card models, that would explain why they (6800 Ultra) don't seem to be available in vast quantities yet, but that doesn't in any way imply that they have been recalled either.

No no no you have it all wrong, DP's error lies in thinking he'll ever get out of an enlistment in the first place to ever go dig up the body with the neo-cons running the perpetual war show.:)

if this was true then maybe one of the board makers clocked their 2.0ns mem too fast to be fully stable

That's probably true but its funny nonetheless. We've had 7 cards announced this generation, 4 of which either haven't been released or are impossible to find. And out of the remaining 3, 2 of them are 12 pipeline parts lacking in speed.

You should have pre-ordered Duke Nukem Forever as well.
It's bundled with the new 6810 Ultra, didn't you know? :)

I can't even get an X800pro (out of stock everywhere), but I'm not starting any rumors :(

I bet they want to insure thier partners have a chance to dump thier stock at non fire sale prices. ie 9600's 9800's and fx's

Or else these chips simply have a high failure rate..which I seriously doubt... you don't sink hundreds of millions into fabs, marketing, and R&D to have a product that's unworkable.
