Eh ? I'm lost !

[pocketmoon]

More info :

"for the 6800 Card we have a current arrival date of Thursday - Friday of Next week. I predict that your delivery shall be on the Friday or Monday at the latest"



And Monday is (drum role please.....drrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr) The 7th!

[DR]

NVIDIA are realeasing their mega driver on that monday too... hence another delay.... (so they might be holding strings on consumers to ensure they get the best performance.

to be honest it was really to be expected that they delayed it slightly while they tinkered with the drivers etc to get the best performance out of the card. As soon as I hear any info from any of the suppliers - I'll post it here so you can all be informed at the same time.

Best Regards

Lee any chance you can look into why my order isnt recieving these updates?

Some salesman at Scan just told me 18th June ?

Perhaps the first batch is sold out and that's the date for the next one.

I hope so anyway

evga in the states have started a weekly draw to win their 6800U so I assume that they plan to ship the winning card this week some time.

Also, in the states, compusa has received a shipment from PNY, which I guess will make them available later this week.

Well I was within the first 7 to place an order and there was no mention of anything shipping today.

[pocketmoon]

I guess it's just a matter of sitting tight then

Scan supposedly has a very close working relationship with Nvidia UK (they run the official shop!) so I would hope that they would be the first to ship. On the other hand there's alway the possibilities that someone imports a few from Japan or HK..

I know that Nvidia UK sent out developer boards only last week so there must be *some* in the UK!

Aah the good people at Scan have fixed my order and I am now getting updates again:

Estimated Lead Date = 09/06/2004

eep, lets hope it doesnt slip anymore

[DR]

Just remember it will be worth the wait

[pocketmoon]

More bad news for the 6800 - looks like gainward have slipped with all thier 6800 products to about the 28th June! I can't see XFX being that far ahead

Time to cancel me thinks.
