I think you missed my point:
I posted this thread in the form of a question. I didnt claim ATI was volume shipping or anything else. The other half is what you guys assumed and that is the part where all the FUD comes in.
If Gibbo claims something else, keysplayer2003 doesnt raise the points be brings up in this thread. Why so?
Arch enemy ? I dont want to join any sorority gang. I didnt come here for that. Apparently missing a question mark is enough to mislead some people. :roll:
Done.
Hey did you notice that the thread you linked to had the word MAY in the title
7800 May Actually Be Available 6/22
not
7800 WILL Actually Be Available 6/22
There is no May or maybe or possibly in your title. I think that is what gets everyone worked up about. I look at the title and get excited and say heck yes i can go order one, which is not the case.
Sorry that was the wrong link. This is the correct one:

Ahead of schedule would have been June, they are still 4 months late no matter how much you try and spin it.
I take it that means you have never owned an ATI card? If I understand you correctly, that has many implications. But the main one is that you are unable to comment effectively on ATI Versus nVidia, because you only understand one side. Unless you are well versed in both companies, you really cannot provide any objective information.
In short, I am asking you why you would feel the need to defend ATI when you have neither owned their cards nor prefer them (as you say)? If you think you are valiant to do so, think again.

You would be correct if CrazyDingo didn't take so much offense even to the early responses to his OP. He cannot take any criticism of any sort, else he becomes enormously defensive. If criticism is something that cannot be tolerated by a person, then that person has absolutely no business being in a public forum full of opinions.
Notice that everything is an insult to him. Zobar may have went a smidge over, but the fact is, he is correct when it all comes down to it.
Being an Nvidia user all my life doesnt necessarily imply, I am biased. I use Linux which means my options are limited.
I'm not being valiant or something similar. I just dont want to be "hip" and bash ATI mercilessly since that is the trend of the season and generally acceptable here.
I highlighted the insults. YOU are the one take everything as insults, even asking for them when there are none. Who is baiting here?

I merely said throw all the insults you want. Feel free. Doesn't phase me at all.
And so you're doing all this just for the sake of being different? Not "hip" as you call it?
You don't have to be "hip" or whatever you mean, to see facts for what they are.
Just being anti-hip for the sake of being anti-hip doesn't make what you say any less inaccurate when it comes to your thread here.
Stop being so defensive. Start knowing your information. Start posting accurate information. That's all you have to do to be taken seriously. Nothing more.
Its called "baiting" which isnt allowed here.
I'm not "anti-hip" either; I dont bash Nvidia.
Stop attacking me and following me around here.
Yes, I know.
I do.
No, in order to be taken seriously I have to buddy up, which I wont.
Yeah, things are alittle bit more in the UK so i took it down abit ($820ish), however.. to be honest the price range will prob be more around $700-800 going by what happened with the x800xt PE.
that happened with the 6800U too, but that was measured more in a week(singular), rather than month"s"

UK Euro? i thought those prices were in quid? Euro's went allover the place last year so i dont know what is what. pound usualy stays steady at £1=$1.8-2
Ether way that is bad >_<. Ohwell the only people dead set on buying an XT were gonna buy it nomatter how much it cost.
Aren't the overclockers.co.uk prices in GBP (~$1.77), not Euros? That's still high ($600-700 + VAT), but not as insane.
1 euro is only like 1.22 american dollars, I know since I was just in Rotterdam/Amsterdam.
1 pound is = to 1.86 american dollars, so yeah we get screwed that way.

Looks like Keys is again bashing the Op for posting information! The title did not mislead anyone, as the Original Post clearly pointed out that a FEW Xts preorders had been shipped, and that they were still waiting for the bulk shipments. Keys, if you want to start flame wars about people with misleading titles, try it in P and N, because they have titles that are WAY more misleading than this.
This thread is very interesting, and I wonder if this is a sign of what is to come in terms of availibility on Nov 5th.
