"now taking preorders"
ATI's release schedules are to be taken with a large truckload of salt. I ordered some X800s when they were apparently available, and it took 9 months for ATI to fulfil my order.

heh ATI main headquarters are a few miles from where I live ..you'd think that'd make it easy to find ati products but no ..still have yet to see a x1800xt in stock
the reviews look promising but the price point is way to high ..but in some benchmarks at 1600 x 1200 the x1900xt is getting 20%-40% the frame rates as a 7800gtx 256 mb ..that's pretty impressive ..but the price, wow

eh, as nice as this sounds, I'm still holding out for a DX10 card, even though I would love the performance increase over my X800 XT, I just dunno whether it's worth the cash

I'm in the same boat, I think I'm just going to upgrade all of it at once - and make a kickass computer which will stay kickass for about 2 monthsAsus said:yeah I'm waiting as well. Although that means I will probably be holding out on upgrading the rest of my system as well.

I'm not really impressed that much. I can't wait to see the 8800GT :naughty:

Whatever. Looks very sexy, but it's not getting my money. DX10 ftw.

I follow thse steps:
1-sell my two 7800gtx on ebay for £350-400
2-8800GTX once it comes out, it cost around £400 for one card so I got one for the price of my old cards
3-I keep saving money for a peroid of 6 months to buy the second card.
Simple aye ??

TomsHardware fools!
Though the mobo that they're running the GeForces on is kinda crappy...
:<
Anyway, this new ATi card is lookin pretty nice.
The XT is cheaper than some 7800gtx's and it out performs them.

Maaan, i only recently got a 1X800XT !!! And it's no longer ati's top end card !!!! Having said, it equals the 7800GTX, and in some cases betters, and for less money !! (mine cost £320). So all in all i would have to say it provides good bang per buck as it were, although the 7800GT takes the bang per buck crown. I think i'll be waiting to upgrade until DX10 becomes commonplace and DX10 cards are readily available.

I also miss the days of cards that didnt have 50 different models.
Like I had an ATi Radeon 64MB... thats all it was.
Now Video Card producers pump out a bunch of iterations of the same card, just with maybe 50MHz more on the core and memory clocks, and charge $100 more.
*sigh*
