did any one try the softmod? I hear all over the net people are softmodding x800pro VIVO versions into full x800xt PE specs with a simple bios flash :imu: :imu:
as far as i've seen it only works with the pro vivo versions. still not bad, saves u some £60 or so :D
and as if i needed another good reason to buy an x800 card, my 9700pro has... well... i think i might have killed it, poor one :stare:

the best price i could find for an x800pro vivo so far is with komplett.co.uk but they have like 2 weeks wait :(

Should have waited for the PCI-E version to come out... That's what i am doing. The boards are starting to role out, now im just waiting for the cards. Then it's a quick trip to the bank and a drive to Compusa to get the board and card and HL2(x2) at base price (how much the store buys it for). :D

PCI-E won't be much faster than AGP for months....

epmode said:
so you know how to get one, then?

it sounds insane, but he's right. the x800xt is literally impossible to find in stores. same goes for nvidia's 6800 ultra. and yet, with all these problems, ati and nvidia still put out press releases about new, more powerful cards.
Click to expand...

I know where to get them.....All you have to do is look.
 
Need a whole new platform for those PCI-Express cards right now.
 
i've got a 9800xt ... as of a few weeks ago ... i dont see a problem with it ... mer - you jerks with the x800 ... pfftt ... hey let me ask you something ... If i've got 1meg of ddr ram ... amd athlon xp 3200+ cpu ... a rad 9800xt 256mb ... does anyone THINK hl2 might run with all details up with Antialiasing maxed and anisotropic filtering maxed?
 
Not maxed but you probably could get away with 2X AA and 4X AF with good detail.

If I really wanted one right now, I bet I could find one, and have it by next week, but, I don't have the money so I can't order one ;P
 
You can easily find one and get it by next week. Mines coming in monday, but dont worry i wont post a pointless thread to tell everyone i just got a card they wish they had *cough*
 
:dozey: Man you're lucky you have one. I most likely will be getting one late, because I am going on vacation. I asked a BestBuy employee, when will they be getting them in stock. Was hoping to hear an exact date, well atleast estimate. He says, "Nope, but soon"- they all say that! :eek:

anyone that can point me to a retailer that has an x800xt in stock for $500 will be my best friend forever. i preordered at comp usa, but they keep on delaying my order.

It took a long, long time for an X800 to appear here (here: Finland). Finally, a Connect 3D model came. People who keep insisting that X800s grow in trees and are readily available anywhere need to get a serious reality check.
 
they are available. and theyre doing a pretty good job for such a high demand.

Available in some places. And "available" is not the same thing as "coming soon maybe uh we don't know."

i've had a preorder at comp usa since early june. still no card.
 
I just hope it comes out sometime around the 20th August, that way I can get my game and my upgrade on the same day (My Payday), saves me having to go into town again and again
 
CS: S Beta is starting around July 28th, CS: S suppose to ship with HL2 at the same time! Doug said they hope HL2 will hit the shelves at Fall!

How can HL2 be released 20th August then?

And more importantly, how is that related to hardware?

Again with the showing off :rolleyes:

:x :x

well, everyone was telling their specs, FX53, x800

p4 3.4ghz 6800 ultra ect, so I did to
 
I need a job!!! You kids are crazy with your specs!!! I guess working does pay off...you get to have the best fps on the planet.
 
my e-penis is so small...other people like to look at it like im hung like a horse :p
 
@ guinny

Classic :D

BTW nice job with the Socket 939, I always wanted one :(

@ otherz

Does ATi's "Trade Up Program" allow somewhat of a "rebate" on a new card by trading in your old one? I read the FAQ's but they were somewhat indirect, that or I misread.

If so, do they accept Sapphire's cards?
 
To amuse everyone, here are my current specs.

Amd xp 2500
Asrock motherboard (no sata support etc.)
1 gb of slow memory
Radeon 7000 32mb
Old 40gb seagate hard-disk
Lg dvd-rom
350 w Fortron psu

Ugh...
