thats not sheit, its chocolate mousse!

I believe they are shipping 4 versions, I'm pretty sure he knows.

Besides getting memory thats fast enough for either chip :brokenheart:

What a load

That's what ATI wants you to think

Strangely, the 6800Ultra seems to be coming out in quantity . . .

:roll:

so it's not RAM

. . . . it's . . .

. . . it's . . . (catch a breath) . . .

it's . . . Crappy YIELD on the XT . . .
(looks like ATI - in their "rush" to beat nVidia - didn't get all the "bugs" out of their manufacturing process.)

What else could it be?
(no, really)

Go to your local store which sells graphics cards and if you find a 6800 ultra extreme and a 800xt pe ON THE SHELF then I will agree with you. Both companys are having a hard time getting quality chips from TSMC and IBM. thus the reason the 6800gt and the x800 pro are available in decent quantitys. The higher clocked versions are very limited in quantity.

it seems i was actually agreeing with you - EXCEPT on the scarcity of suitable RAM.
(it ain't as scarce as GPU yields are bad - ati would like to blame it all on video memory)

:roll:

i should have made it clearer

and the 6800u is definitely more available than the XT
(i can find a 6800u near MSRP - NOT the XT)

I agree!!!!!! lets hope the problems getting these kick ass cards out to the public gets solved quickly

I think I just landed an ASUS X800 XT. So they are still in the pipeline. My source got a case in(4). I got the last one.

I plan on throwing it on Ebay to make a profit to help pay for my 6800GT I got last week.

Me bad for doing that but, it is plain old economics.

They say they are shipping 4 versions, but who has seen an XT or SE, and I think Dell only recently starting selling the PE. They way he said it you'd think that you could get a PE at 7-11.

XT is a PCI-E only product and those are around. SE, I agree, have not even heard of it being out.

HMM...
I don't think ATI has cancelled their flagship card considering you can still go to ATI.com and order one! Heres the link, scroll to the bottom and what ?
There it is still listed, though not in stock!
