Pre-Order your X800PRO for $499

[TheGreatGrapeApe]

EB spotted <A HREF="http://www.allstarshop.com/shop/product.asp?pid=8988&sid=QDW3SU88MR308NT1TVC71XN9HSTJ27C2#" target="_new">THIS</A> pre-order page for AllStarShop. $499.

The page doesn't seem very well fact checked, simultaneously mentioning 8 Extreme pipelines and 12 later in the description. Also A LOT of spelling mistakes!

I don't know man, for $54 less I can get that R9800XT on the left. I mean $54, that's like 2 cases of beer man!

Do you think anyone would pre-order it before reading a review?

Yeah there's a ton of people out there who went D'Oh!

But that guy you pointed out was the first one I saw (also they [Euros] had them before N.Amer [lucky for US! )

Preording a graphics card is quite stupid IMO.

But even still, this was a fun link to read. Any info on X800 is welcome right now.

The more I look at it, the more I think this was a huge find. Spills an aweful lot of NDA hidden info right? No clock speeds, but tomorrows PR today.

And to see that they have an ETA of 5-7-04, as in one week from now. If that is correct, it's definately not the long wait after release like 6800U. I expected 2 weeks maybe, but 3 days? wow. Hope so.

What do you think about comparing this to what you know about NV's - On-Chip Video Processor?

After 2 cases of beer it really wont matter what card you have, and who can beat a graphics card that carrys over to real life and makes whatever girl your hooked up with that much more attractive, I dont care how many pipelines the new radeon has, I doubt itll be doing that.

Seriously, who needs 3D shutter glasses when you have BEER Goggles!

New with every XGI: Triple Bock Goggles, makes everything look good regardless of drivers problems.
