ATI says vendors get first crack at the new ATI x850xt platinum video card. "are partners come first". says one ATI rep. so, consumers may have to pay as much as $750 to buy one from newegg!! so, availability may be a problem that plagued the x800 series as well.

Some of those cards find their way to newegg alikes. Someone ordered from gameve at $575 for 850xtpe oem and when he checked the invoice it was $595 :mad: It happened at the same day ati announced the news.
