I'd guess not. This is in big blue text:
*PreOrders will ship JULY 1, 2004*

Jebus, do companies actually look at the web pages they've put up? So much contradictory information on this one.

whats this 6800 equivlent to in terms of Radeon x800s? Is this the one with 12 pipelines, or is that the GT ?

Toward the bottom it also mentions bundling farcry with it as well. A "pre-order special". That's pretty cool. Almost makes me want to buy it.

Looking at the spec sheet it says this is the 12-pipe card with 325mhz and 350mhz(700 effective) clock speeds.

thats a sweet looking card...man this site is breaking me..Ive already rebuilt 2 PC's

Heh so if its instock and you order now it will ship now but if you preordered it wont ship till july 1st?

got some info from lament on the friendly wallet site

it probably isnt 6800ultra with 128 instead of 256mb ram like the one thats been reviewed on hardocp and toms and everywhere else....

Anybody seen any reviews of this specific one?

this has 12 instead of 16 pipelines


from lament:

Name | P* | Core | Mem | RAM | MSRP | ETA
GeForce 6800 Ultra (Extreme) | 16 | 450 | 550 | 256MB GDDR3 | TBD | June
GeForce 6800 Ultra | 16 | 400 | 550 | 256MB GDDR3 | $499 | Late-May
GeForce 6800 GT | 16 | 350 | 500 | 256MB GDDR3 | $399 | Mid-June
GeForce 6800 | 12 | 325 | 350 | 128MB DDR1 | $299 | Late-May

*P = Pixel Pipelines (the more, the better)

Core and Mem are in MHz.

Here's a direct link to the article on the 6800 Ultra Extreme and GT models.

I it still looks like a low price on a new generation card, wonder how it performs tho

looks good cant wait for the price on it to drop a bit when it gets in stores and other places
