these 800XL's were suposed to retail for 299. why are they showing up at 450. plus on newegg and other sites? is this because they arent out in masses yet? just looking at the prices of the 800XL's and about shat my self
Charlie
what is that online store you pre-order your 800XL from for 299. ?
thx perc,
That happens with most gfx cards. Just give it a month or so and it'll calm down in price.

Started overclocking last night and core goes to 455, 457 and ATI tool picks up little errors. Not all together bad but i was hoping for a tiny bit more on water. Hopefully as there was room to put RAMsinks on underside of card that should clock better. Do the big air coolers also cool the RAM or can u also put RAMsinks on?

Depends on what brand you are using. The PowerColor fan cools all the front side RAM more or less. And you can stick some sinks on the back and add a fan for airflow.
It's not really that much. The Club 3d X800XL costs about 295€ in Germany and many shops ship european-wide.Pikard u have to think thath here in Europe everything is like 100 usd more expensive than there. If there was a shop, like newegg fe that sent parts to Spain, everryone would buy there.
You can try geizhals.at, it's a great european price-search website.
Regarding the voltage mod:
when the ISL6522CBs are on the backside, I'm sure you can use the good old pencil mod. Just make sure you 'pencil' the resistor connected to the same pin of the ISL6522CB like on the other cards.

maybe for some things yes, but for example i am trying to get a pair of 512 Mb sticks gskill pc4800 LA. in the USA 1 Gb is $292, thats 228€, in Germany its 298€ and in the UK is 330€...
Some things are really expensive here in Europe...
WEll have to go toto buy
mmm, i dont know much about resistors and so, can you show some pics?
Thanks a lot Phobos
ati doesnt care that the x800xl sucks at ocing, 90% of users never overclock, just the 10% like us do and those that want xtreme clocks will just get the x800 or x850xt anyway but at like $500at least the x800xl is better than the x800pro and both are the same price. Hopefully prices go down to $330-350 in a month when supply picks up.

A friend of mine will go to the USA monday. He'll stay there for 10 months.
Perhaps he can make some good deals for me
Regarding the resistor: Have a look at the X800 Pro / XT V-Mods and you will see that you have to paint a resistor with some pencil brushes. If this resistor is at the same location on your card I'm pretty sure you can do the V-mod that way.

i got my 800xl two days ago and i started oc and i got:
core:400@476
mem:500@579
on MCW50-T
without artifacts!
any vmod guide yet?
Nice clocks!
Support Metal!
I'm glad to see such a success; 6000 3d05 is almost twice as much as my 9800XT did.
Which manufacturer made your card?
I guess it's one with a power connector.
Anyone Have any of these yet?
im thinking of getting a nf4 mobo, and these seem to be just as good as a x800pro~xt and about the same price..

thx perc,
I got it for $299 - a 20% discount at ati.com when it was first released. I paid $260 after tax and shipping.... ati.com online store told me last week that it'd ship at the end of Feb....
I'm thinking this will be a GREAT gamer card.

Why do you say it will be a great gaming card?
The price?
or does it have some technology on it that helps with gaming? (sorry i dont know)

I've got a powercolor X800XL, it can't clock well, i don't know why, this site http://www.vr-zone.com.sg/?i=1721&s=5 can clock to 440/1120 and having the same card he's able to clock that high? Mine is only 425/1090.
I think it'll be a good gaming card, because i hate to have a $500 GPU sitting in my gamng rig depreciating, losing it's value.
I got the x800xl (when I get it) from ati.com online store as a special pre-order for $260. At that price point, with 16 pipes it's a great card for gaming at a pricepoint even south of a 6800NU.

I got Sapphire 800xl
IMO that's a very interesting fact. Most people assumed that this card would be powerstarved, but if a card without powerconnector is able to reach these clocks it has quite a nice headroom.
I'm still waiting for a voltmodded one with powerconnector of course.
These 75W(?) can't do everything after all.
And another note: I fully agree with charlie:
I couldn't enjoy a 500$ GPU.. I'd think every day, "how much is it still worth; should I try to sell it on ebay while it hasn't lost that much of its value"
Had this feeling with my 9800XT and I hate it... and if I want to make an investment, I'd rather buy some silver coins lol.

My club3d has the power connector. I am still looking to do that Vmod, but someone has tempted me to put peltier+LC...
Xtreme systemers are a bad influence.
See ya!
viddax^2, what's the max you can get without any vmods?!
cause personally, i do believe that the ones with the external power connector will OC higher!
ATM, i'm tending toward the PowerColor one, which has the external power connector, 1.6ns RAM, Dual DVI & ViVo.
Not sure about it coz the fan doesnt go any faster than 43%, i got nearly 450/550 or sthg like that, think i can go higher but after a while the temp rises and it starts making little artifacts...
Ill have to try and manually connect the fan to the PSU...
See ya
hey... I tried the X800XL from Club 3D yesterday. A very nice card, but the price in Denmark is about 350-360€
jackal83, can you tell us some more?!
The Club3d one 341€ here in Spain, the prize has gone down 38€ in less than a month
See ya"
Got my PowerColor up to 495 core and 545 mem. Running with 1 radiator only atm and waiting for 2nd BlackIce to arrive.
