None of it in stocks today, all are now on pre-order (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/X1800_Series.html). :lol:

Sorry still no X1300 and X1600 cards too.

If you gave up on waiting for either of it and want something now, you can look at 7800 GT and GTX range all available in stock today here (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/7800_Series.html). :)

Wow what a misleading thread title... they are NOT AVAILABLE. Pre-orders do not mean anything about availability, even teh dates mean jack. Remember the x800XT PE issues? constantly being pushed back and back even if you have already paid, people waited months for cards they have already paid for.

ATI once again dropped the ball on a product launch.

I think he was being sarcastic with his thread title.

Unlike ATI, I don't think that's going to happen again. NVIDIA saw their past mistakes and took that to heart with this launch. Read some interviews that talk about this...they've got their crap together now.

But still, if it happens? I'll bitch about it, too. I don't care what company it is, don't "release" your products until they're done and available in mass quantities. It's that simple.

It remains to be seen if the X1800XT is going to be nearly the phantom edition the X800XTPE was. That thing took literally over an entire quarter before it was generally available. Even if it does take a month for the X1800XT to come out - that's noowhere near as bad as last time.

Not that it's cool, mind you... None of us like this BS about reviewing cards that you can't buy.

ATi is a joke after this. They screwed the pooch royally with the X800 XT Panic Edition. So what do they do? They do it again!

We need to smack ATI on the snout with a rolled up newspaper so they understand that paper launching in this day and age is a no no... Bad ATI BAD BAD! :p

ATI is a joke? The X800XT came in late, but it still sold great. ATI made tons of money off of them. These cards will be the market for 2+ years, 4 months isn't gonna break the product. :rolleyes:

4 months? So there is end to the lateness? So, where can I buy one? All I see at the stores are X850's and 7800 GTX's.
