x800xt pe / 6800Ultra availability

[CorpseExplosion]

I am afraid I have registerd to pester you with questions born from a lack of knowledge. So ah..sorry about that. Anyway if anyone could be bothered to answer this it would be much appreciated.

I am looking to get a new graphics card - before half life 2 hits. I want go with a top of the line option and decided upon the 6800 Ultra. However everywhere I look its not in stock and is pre order; is the card out over here yet? I thought that I would settle for the x800xt pe but I can't seem to find that in stock either. My question is this; are these cards available over here yet? Are they just hard to come by? If I ordered a "pre-order" 6800Ultra how long do you think I would have to wait? Admittedly I could of fired off a few emails to companies, but they never seem to give the same / a straight answer, thanks for any help you can provide.

I posted about this the other day as im after an XTPE and it seems they will not be out until January. I found an ATI on Ebay though, import from the US. I dunno about Nvidia, but im sure there will be some on Ebay too

I got it last week but having second thoughts about keeping it as I'm not really a heavy gamer..

Got it from PCW component centre for £360..

i got one off there but then it went to ready for delivery then they emailed me saying they were out of stock, i was rather anoyed

[icehot]

they are gradually coming off the production line more and more ... so just keep checking well know websites that usually get an shipment

Well, over here in the US there not easly found either! I have been watching 7 sites that sell the BFG 6800 ultra... I have it ordered on one... its been out of stock for 5 weeks now! I think my sig change was a litle early....

Im thinking of selling my 6800 ultra. Reason being I want to move to a LGA775 for christmas but I won't sell for anything less than I paid for it and it still has 12 months warranty. Its a shame there is no evga in the uk because you can use the step up program to get a better card by only paying the difference.

I can't believe you still can't get these cards in large numbers. It seems months ago now that I got my X800XT-PE, mainly because it was.

What the hell is going on?

I contacted BFG, and was told that the 6800 ultras were not in stock at the maufatures warehouse, also that oem builders get the priority shipments...

The 6800 ultras could become a Coilectors Edition card if they dont make many more of them.

Yay! gettin my sapphire x800 xt on monday! Wahoo!

I've been looking since May for a x800xt pe. Placed orders with a couple of companies who claimed they had it in stock - turned out to be false. After waiting for weeks with one company I cancelled.

Looked most days on the Komplett site - never seen one in stock.

Just a friendly note lads: this is not Wanter or For Sale; not the place to flog your cards.
