[rbV5]

ATI Technologies Inc. (TSX:ATY)(NASDAQ:ATYT) today enhanced its family of graphics products for gamers and enthusiast PC users by announcing and shipping AGP versions of its popular RADEON® X800 XL graphics cards and RADEON® X850 XT graphics processors.

Good, it's about time they did

The only problem that I see is that, how long did it take for the PCI-E versions of these cards to come out? ATI has had some serious issues delivering X8x0 products, we'd be lucky to see these cards come summer, and I don't expect seeing them in retail until about August or September. I may be wrong, but judging from ATI's past record with its R4x0 based products, it wouldn't surprise me.

HIS Radeon AGP cards will be reputably be available worldwide in March Link I'm sure the other partners are going to want to get cards out soon as well. ATI hasn't been the only one with "issues" delivering products, and it looks like most of the cards are now available at or below MSRP if you want them.

Any word on MSRP? Hopefully the same as the PCI express variants.

I'm still debating whether to stay with AGP for awhile, or go PCI Express now

I love how all the skeptics were screaming it wouldn't be released - $245 (includes S&H) - WOOOOO HOOOOO!!!!!!!

Any idea if the bridge chipped X800XL will take a significant performance hit?

I would hope not, but we should see some benchmarks soon. If they have cards to ship next month, there must be reference cards around already.

You know, that's shocking to me :Q . I am truely speechless. I did not expect those cards for quite some time (maybe sooner than I originally suggested), but March? Damn! Maybe everyone b*tching at ATI finally lit a fire under their asses!

Its good to see them taking proactive steps where they SHOULD have long ago. PCI-E is too much of an infant to fend for itself. Methinks 6600GT sales made them reconsider 😉

Ahhhhh, the benefits of competition...🙂

I am pleasantly suprised!!

Hopefully they didnt just build quantity for a month and theyll be out of stock again in april.

I'm surprised there were no X700pro AGP cards in this announcement.
