Canadians:

This is from ati.ca. I'll check if the US site has the same deal.

Here is the original thread. I didn't find it.

Try the 10% off coupon that worked on the canadian website of 1485

Did the 10% off coupon work? for the US?

 

[imported_Bleh]

Yes it works well at least in the shopping cart it does.

Where do you see anything about SLI? I read the whole thing and not a word about it.

theyve got to come out with an ati sli chipset first

 

[benrico]

Actually in regards to SLI, VIA's new pci-e chipset is supposed to support any two vga cards running pci-e x4. We just dont know how the performance compares to SLI yet. Just something to think about. Its weird too because these's boards have been availible for a few days, I think ASUS has one in the $160 range.

Here's more on what I just mentioned. Check out the VIA DualGFX Express? part.

Deal is dead apparently. ATI took the x800xl off their sale list.

 

[hytek369]

whoa!

 

[seanp789]

deal is back up $14.50 shipping though

 

[KameLeon]

Don't expect your cards till Summer... Get in line behind the rest of us who ordered back in beginning of January!!! :roll:

So what's so special about this card to make it worth such a long damn wait?

It was supposed to be attractive because it offers basically the same performance as the 6800GT, but at a $299 MSRP price point. Too bad they weren't really planning on letting you get one for $299 (within any reasonable amount of time anyway). :roll: :thumbsdown:

(Disclaimer: Nvidia's pricing/availability on their PCI-E stuff isn't a whole lot better)

Thee will never be any ATI that will run in SLI becuase SLI is an nVidia thing. ATI will have video cards that run as a pair, but it will be called something entirely different.

Mine shipped. Nice that ATI came through on this one.

 

[crazyeddie]

Mine shipped too, eight days after I ordered it. FedEx says I'll be enjoy stupid-fast framerates tomorrow afternoon. Not too shabby for $269 ($284 delivered).

 

[Manyakis]

mine shipped for $221.47

Was that from stacking the 10% and 20% off codes? I missed that the first time.

 

[Manyakis]

yes it was.

 

[rbV5]

Mine shipped <MSRP

 

[PScherer79]

Link to x800 XL is removed from ATI's (U.S.) website. The code "1485" still works for 10% off in Canada.
