Maybe. I could always turn around and sell it to a customer, or put it into my machine at work, or into the server. However, I really don't need it all that much as the 9500 Non-Pro is softmodded to 9700Pro, and it runs beautifully.

For the US only though. Canadian side still says "Pre-Order".

Anyone actually received their card yet?

Volcom929 · Aug 17, 2005, 09:25 PM

Just got an email today. It shipped today from Texas. Estimated arrive date of the 20th by FedEx.

ronnn · Aug 17, 2005, 10:19 PM

Very nice, mine is ordered for Canada - ordered July 31 - hope it comes soon also.

Tipstaff · Aug 18, 2005, 06:48 AM

Anyone checked ATIs site recently?

Well then, here's the poop:

The X800XTPE refurbs are all gone (for both the US and Canada) for now. However, the X800 Pros are still there... with a new addition: they are now selling refurbed X800 Pro PCI-E cards, and for the same price as the AGP ones.

Time for another purchase.

H3X4D3C1M4L · Aug 18, 2005, 04:53 PM

Is anyone actually using one of these? Like....actually has it in the AGP slot and typing on a screen fed by that card?

Stratman · Aug 19, 2005, 01:07 AM

I'm not using it yet, but i did get it today, will probably install it saturday, supposed to rain all day, doing major upgrades all at once, new PDP XBLK 1 gig kit, PC Power and cooling 510 watt deluxe PSU, and the X800XT PE, hopefully i'll get a nice boost in performance !!!

MindlessOath · Aug 20, 2005, 10:03 PM

i have it in my computer, installed it yesterday, and recived it the day before.
works pritty good, but i havent played with it much so i cant say for sure.
it looks brand new and flawless, and it works fine as far as running in the computer.

that 510PP&C PSU was the best investment i had made, hope you enjoy yours stratman!
i should update my sig too

I know another guy that received his Friday. He's very happy.

Stratman · Aug 21, 2005, 06:24 AM

Installed today, and WOW, what a difference, lol, 3D Mark 05 gained over 800 points from my 6800GT, AM3 gained over 7,000 points, 3D Mark 03 gained about 700. I'm sure the new ram helped some, but i'm getting about 80 more fps in the games i always play. Awesome card for an awesome price !!

ronnn · Aug 23, 2005, 09:09 PM

I got a letter last night saying the x800xt pe was in stock, but not shipped yet. How long am I likely to have to wait for shipping? Am a little afraid that this is just a delaying tactic.

Stratman · Aug 24, 2005, 01:05 AM

I'm pretty sure if they emailed you and said it was in stock, you'll be getting it eventually, be patient, believe me, it's well worth the wait !!!!

MindlessOath · Aug 25, 2005, 12:48 AM

it was like 2 or 3 days (i belive only 2 days) after i got the email. i think... anyways shipping was fast, no more than a 5 days i would say and thats MAX.

ronnn · Aug 25, 2005, 09:22 AM

I still haven't received shipping news, the suspense is killing me. I picked up a copy of chaos theory, on the theory it will give my (hope I actually get it) new card a work out.

ronnn · Aug 25, 2005, 06:33 PM

Well they finally shipped it, maybe arrive monday.

Ferret_Style · Aug 25, 2005, 10:54 PM

lol out of PE's ... ordered 2 x800 pros for me and wife.

ronnn · Aug 30, 2005, 10:05 AM

Should arrive tommorow. About time.

ronnn · Aug 31, 2005, 08:25 AM

Now my fedex tracking number says delivered, but never got it. Earlier today showed it going to the wrong town up island. This is not looking good........
