ATI is a POS

[SupraNormal]

I've waited forever and a day for my X850XT PE. Its suppose to have shipped a month ago, and still nothing. Why do they offer a vid card for sale if they cant even make it available. I now checked with ATI, and another month or so, or they say anyway. Has anyone seen a BBATI retail X850XT PE, or is that just something of myth and legend?

In anycase fuck them!

Not an ATI built but newegg has a HIS model in stock.

Isn't ATi cancelling the preorders for those?

I hope you get it soon, though. Those are straight up NICE cards.

There are Sapphire x850 XT cards on sale for <$500 on Newegg.com.

I just got off the phone with Chumbo a little while ago and they said they have contacted ATI about it and expected a shipment in the next couple of weeks they think. They said their going to send out e-mails to all their customers who have preordered the BBA X850XT PE.

I'm going to wait a while longer cause it was only $485 w/ free 2-day FedEx and i've already got an X800XL that should be on its way in a couple of days to tide me over until then.

I don't understand why people even bother to order BBA cards for new releases, get them from Sapphire, you are pretty much guarunteed to be able to find them, and (big suprise here) Sapphire makes the BBA boards anyway!

I had to wait a week to get replacement from Dell x850xt PE. so there are ATI built cards out there just not in the retail market it seems. but there are other brands of the x850xt PE if you look.

Mac.
