I took your advice and looked on ocforums.com, did a search for chumbo and nothing came up. do you have a link? what kind of problems? I thought the guys that ordered the pci-e 6800gt's from chumbo.com had good luck with them. :stick:

I read it. That stuff happens. Also the xmas rush is extremely hectic and that could've been anyone. At least they sent one of the cards. They could've just put a hold on the order altogether and not shipped anything until both cards were in stock. I think fed ex is to blame, but they should've packed it better. I am going to stick with my x850 xt pe order. I think the price is really good, and all I see is price gauging on every other site. So even if it takes a while, It will be worth it in the long run. I don't even have a pci-e a64 board now, so I am still waiting on the other chipsets. The via (ati sli) looks interesting.

after seeing this ebay auction, x850xl pe doesn't seem like such a bad deal. some idiot spent $610 on 12 pipe card

I ended up ordering 2 x850 xt platinums. I called and they said they have some planned to ship on the 6th of Jan.

[sUpervizer']

I think I'll go for the X850XT PE @ 485$ sounds nice...

[longshot]

I have heard they wont ship till the end of the month. Dell is currently taking all they can produce from what i hear.

From what you hear? is this confirmed by ati? or just forum rumours?

[TEDY]

mmmm X800XL looks really nice for me.

[longshot]

It came from someone at Ingram Micro which is one of that nations largest distrobutors.

[trans am]

Nice. I called chumbo today, and it's going to be Jan 14 now. I've played this game before. We'll see. I figured it was too good to be true, but we'll see on the 14th. I can honestly say I'm in no hurry.

I got my 6800 GT PCI-e from there with free overnight for retail price. Took fed-ex six days but definitely there fault. I didnt think I was gonna get it. Evryone else is gouging on them.

Hey pete, so you have 2 pci-e 6800gt's now?

[texuspete00]

Nah I just got the one. I just wanted to mention it because I was skeptical, I read the negatives on reseller ratings (mostly from when AGP GT's were hard to come by)... or else I probably would have gotten two. I guess your card isnt available yet but if it does become so, hop on it. Since my purchase I check them out now.

I like these PCI-e GT's. They shouldnt have any power problems. The Ultra just has the one PCI-e connector too.

[jinu117]

You missed CDW and PC Connection when they had low price pre order on. Bit higher on price now.

[trans am]

WTF? chumbo removed x850 xt pe from the site. link doesn't work no more and I already placed order. I need to call them. BRB.

EDIT
nevermind, they are back!

Good luck..

[trans am]

I sent them an email. I am guessing they just removed it because they got swamped with orders and are probably trying to cover everyone that has preordered. x800xl is still on the site. I'll keep you guys posted.

[mrnuke]

when are these cards expected to become main stream?

[craig588]

Years from now. I think even a R9800 still is considered too high end for mainstream consumers.

Agreed. I think mainstream is still DX8 cards. Maybe a new mainstream card would be something like a 9600xt or fx5200.

x850xt pe is back on chumbo. they said they have over 100 x850xt pe on backorder. That is a lot of cards. if that is just one store, think of Dell and all the other places in the world that sells ati. that's a lot of pressure on ati to pump these out. Hopefully Ati will release AMR soon....

[mrnuke]

when will these be out for us to buy instead of preorder?

[trans am]

When hell freezes over. just kidding here's update from the inq.

[spinboy]

So we can actually expect the X800XL the 14th you think? Seriously, if someone could confirm it, that would really make my day :D.

[DaGoof]

If only I had money.... It's not worth it yet to me, anyhow... We'll see how the DFI NF3 939 performs before I decide to stick with agp or not...

[trans am]

Yilkes! I called them today 1/25/05 and they said they are going to be pushed to the end of february. I cancelled my order. I found a x800xt pci-e for $420. this should last until r520, then it will be another 5 months from that release date. lol/

[TEDY]

where x800xt pcie for only 420$ ?

[trans am]

I bought it privately from a member new.

[steve-0]
