Day it comes out? or what? do people (like anand) already have these cards and are just waiting for the NDA to expire?
 
Thats for the XL though right? THe highly hyped XT is not going to be around until November I think....

Then what was your idea of capitalizing "actual"?
 
my idea was to not have people post me that 9100 3dmark score that a billion others have posted.... I am talking about full reviews of the card with FPS comparisons in games... that was my idea
 
i wasn't annoyed at all... i just didn't want people to post me the score again... you have made an assumption in every post in this thread

edit: and have been wrong every single time.... good job 🙂

I hope they at least have xt's benchmarks on the 5th, even if they cards won't be available immediately.

Well according to Nvidia supporters, paper launches are evil. So if the XT is going to be available Nov 5, ATI shouldn't tell you anything about the card until then, including benchmarks.

Me, I don't mind paper launches. I'd love to hear about the card one month in advance so I can plan my purchase.

The danger with paper launches is sometimes you can't really plan anything.

Look at the X800 Crossfire. Paper launched on ATIs website in May 2005, supposed availability July 2005.
What if you had said "Hooray! It's Crossfire for me!"

OK, July- gone.
August- gone.
Paper launched again in September.
September- gone.

Will we see X800 Crossfire in October? Who knows. Maybe they'll paper launch it again in November.

The poor guy who has been waiting and "planning" since May is already three months into his wait.

I may be a "nVidia Supporter", but I think that guy would have been better off not knowing about Crossfire way back in May.

Not much I'd wait four months for in this life.

 
I don't think you can compare x1800xt to crossfire. crossfire in may was a true "paper launch". I think they've got working xt's now, just not enough to avoid a x850xtpe-type debacle.
 
Nice to see the usual suspects doing the usual useless postings.

Don't try to use logic on Rollo. That never works.

My point about X800 Crossfire and paper launches is valid- that did happen, twice, and some people have been waiting since May.

People who wanted a X800XT PE last year largely had to wait a long time as well.

Paper launches are a big concern and ATI excels in them.

And that is because nVidia never paper launches, right? Do remember that the 6800 launched about 3 weeks before the 800 (which was rushed because of that announcement) and hit the streets about 2 months later than the 800. I am glad they learned their lesson and did not paper launch this last time. And it was a stroke of genius because ATI assumed same old same ole and was caught completely flat-footed figuring they had the same lead time on a 'paper' launch.

Not really familiar with that. I remember both companies paper launching and the 6800GT\Ultrass showing up in quantity late June while it took ATI until Nov.
