Supposedly, they were supposed to be launched 2 or 3 days ago. I was thinking of buying this card since it's a little faster than the 7600GT and in the same price range. I've been looking for them all over the net, but either no one has them or they aren't in stock. Any idea when it's REALLY coming out?

The X1650XT will only be worth it if it's around $120 bucks. But at the current target price of a $150, it's not.

You can get an X1950Pro for 50 bucks more and is 35-70% faster depending on the game over the X1650XT. So why bother waiting?

Spend an extra $50 and get a card that is almost as fast as 2 X1650Pro's put together at low resolution gaming and is actually faster at high resolution gaming.

See here.

yeah, unfortunately the X1650XT was only paper launched recently, as said before it will probably be out later this month.

But you can get a 7600gt for about $130 (compared to X1650XT's $150)which offers similar performance so it's not really worth waiting for.
