the PCI-e ones are definatly 16 pipe, I have one... as for AGP its possible they could change things but either the XL or the 8 pipes is a mistake, there's no way ATI could make the mistake of naming the 2 products identicly but having one so much superior, especially when the 8pipe "XL" is described as being either AGP OR PCI-e, two PCI-e XLs, one with 16 pipes and one with 8? Doesn't make an ounce of sense.

Maybe this is the chip that Sapphire will use. And pull another 9800"pro" stunt.
BTW, where did it say 340 dollars? I missed that.

j/k.. sorry, I couldn't resist. 😛

nice one Larry.

I guess it still thinks everyone but itself is a troll, it doesn't get why it pisses people off and gets banned all the time. Look in the mirror and you'll see who's the real trollo here.

If it's not a typo, then it's a pretty stupid move on Ati's part. There's no way anyone would buy a 8 pipe x800xl for $300, when you can get a 12 pipe x800 for $200. (Whenever those actually become available)

It has 16pipes. The info page has been fixed.

Link spec page but you will have to enter compare info

Looks like they're nuking BOTH the AGP and PCI-E versions:

Click on X800XL and then on next

Guess X800 XL sales were a little too good for ATI's liking. Poor show.

tells me 16 pipes

Good to see ATI wasn't pulling something shady.

Well, here's my 2 cents. We all know that both NV and ATI are pushing this whole PCI-E thing very hard. Me thinks this may just be one of the first steps in the quest for "AGP obolescense". If they make 2 products, one AGP and the other PCI-E, with the same name, and the PCI-E part being superior, then that pushes the PCI-E version more doesn't it. I do think ATI may be trying to pull something over, but still.

When will the AGP X800XL ship?

This is a hard thread to read and not vomit.

$100+ difference?? someone must have gotten a bad deal. Here I am with my BFG 6800GT @ 420/1100 and I paid $350...

TextI think it is a typo. The compariso thing now shows it as one thing, agp or pci-e and 16 pipes.
