You're not going to get an answer on this one. If anyone finds 'em, they'll be gone by the time it's reported.
You can check newegg and get on a wait list or something. |

Well I bought a Sapphire X800XT like 2 weeks ago from zipzoomfly.com, cost $499.99, it was OEM though. It easily overclocks to PE speeds without much of a temperature rise - I know not all X800XT's can OC good, but Sapphire's can. I think I had it as high as 600/600 (xt stock is 500/500, xtpe stock is 520/560) but I started to get some artifacts, but when you consider that my case is a piece of shit with no airflow cause it has the shittiest fans ever made, that's pretty good results. If I just get some real fans and add a PCI fan below the card I'm sure it'll be stable, or if I just get a VGA cooler it will be allright. Anyway, the card is a damn good purchase.

I have a X800 XT PE now in my pc, =D. Thing is definitly 2 months worth of eatin ramon noodles. Good luck to all who are trying to get your hands ahold of one of them cuz it takes patience and thats something most dont have, and finding the money outta the deepest pits of your wallet for those who are as poor as I am.
Here are 2 that are avalible on Newegg. First is a XT and the second is a XT PE http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...131-289&depa=1 http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...142-031&depa=1 Better hurry if your gunna get one cuz they will be gone in 2 days most likely. |

Actually X800XT cards are pretty abundant
Actually X800XT PE cards are hard to find but not impossable both cards can be found an bought with in minutes That is if your will to pay insane prices.... Stock flys off the shelfs at retailers (employes buy them in bulk and resell them for more online) Etailers get limited quanities and of course sell them for high dallor people are openly paying 150-200+% MSRP!!!!! I've seen them go for $1000 - $1200! on ebay! Quote:
how can shiping and buyable cards be called Vaporware?  I can find one is about 30 seconds, i garentee you won't like the prices though |
