Availability: Currently back ordered. We never charge until product ships and we will always contact you before shipping backorders!

You aren't able to put it in your cart. Keep an eye on the site around the 26th. That seems to be the day most retailers are getting their PNY's.

Hi,
I hope I'm not breaking any rules by responding to this.
I saw your posts and wanted to just drop a quick message. I have about 75 units on b/o right now. If you put your name on the notify me list I will be happy to send you an e-mail when they come in.
If you have any questions Just go to the site and use the e-mail address that is all over the place.

take care.

The 6800 NU from that site is a good deal IMO if they don't charge an arm and a leg for shipping.

Any idea when they might be delivered and what is shipping for ground?

 

[axentmicro]

We put a little note in the description field. It will be around $8-$9 for ground We don't soak people for freight. The box weighs around 1.5 lbs.
I am trying to lean on some people to find out how realistic the ETA's are. I will post if I hear anything.

I don't think anyone minds if a vendor is here to supply information and answer questions in a thread. That's actually pretty cool if you ask me.

 

[Shaotai]

:thumbsup:
I think it's cool that a vendor has come in and given his status...
Hope you get those cards in soon...

Well I will be watching this thread. I have an order in at provantage, but it sounds like that deal is about to fall apart. So I would gladly jump on this offer if they are going to be received any time soon.

Either way thanks for the updates!

It's cool to have supplier feedback, but let's not turn hot deals into a customer service forum....send the company an email if you have specific questions.

Is there anyway we can pre-order this item? I'd like to get on the list if possible.

 

[dabuddha]

Funny. I was looking at this same company this morning about ordering my access point.

I think this thread wins the replies:views ratio award. I wonder how many people are hotlinking this . . .

I had the PNY 6800gt till I installed it and realized it wouldn't support anything higher than 1600x1200 on a flat panel. Is this a GT limitation or just the pny one?

That's a 6800 limitation.

Provantage is supposedly cancelling orders because they can't get any more cheap cards in. If Axent Micro has 75 of these backordered, I wonder how they're going to find a supplier if Provantage can't? Could be that Provantage is FOS.

That's a 6800 limitation.

Its not a 6800 limitation. The Mac version does 2560 x 1600, and you can run two LCDs at that res off of one 6800. On the PC side its probably a driver or board manufacturer limitation.

 

[chinkgai]

whats a "gt limitation"?


EDIT: nm i got it

I'm assuming they probably placed the order around the same time Provantage did to get that price, but never listed on their website. Maybe they were waiting for the item to become available before selling it and decided to post it on their website because of all the attention Provantage was getting...

Or maybe they just barely got the cheaper price before PNY jacked it up.

Did I get modded or something? I didn't think I did anything wrong, but my message is gone. Maybe I clicked the wrong button?

 

[Trikat]

I dunno. But if it got edited by Mods they would usually say something in bold letters.
Repost it is about the best thing to do now i guess.

 

[Johnbear007]

Where the heck is the deal? No link, just a period? what the heck is going on here?

 

[Threader]

WTF?
