HOT HOT Deal - ATI X800XT Platinum @ $229.00

ceato · Jul 29, 2005, 12:27 PM

Shows at the ATI Store on their clearance section. They also have the PRO at 199.00

I called their customer service dept and they are offering the full 3yr manufacturers warranty on these cards. They expect all orders will start to ship out Aug 20th-Aug 25th

Enjoy!!

Just to let people know, these cards are refurbished...

H3X4D3C1M4L · Jul 29, 2005, 10:31 PM

Are the prices in USD?

If they're refurb maybe something was wrong with 'em

CDsDontBurn · Jul 29, 2005, 10:33 PM

hmm.....sounds tempting. especially since they are offering a 3yr. warranty on them. But i would like to know the reason why they were sent in for service/RMA.

ronnn · Jul 29, 2005, 10:55 PM

I am very tempted to buy one, as I feel maybe ATi is beginning to dump this gen in preparation for next gen., (also found the 10% off code which basicallly pays for shipping). Anyone know how loud this card is compared to a 9800pro? My 9700pro has a zalman heat sink and I would hate to gain alot of noise, especially when in 2d.

H3X4D3C1M4L · Jul 29, 2005, 10:59 PM

Not loud at all on dynamic fan. Just put the Zalman on the X800.

CDsDontBurn · Jul 29, 2005, 11:00 PM

the cooling solutions for both cards are cmpletely different. The x800 cards have a large fan pushing more air at slower RPMs, but i really wouldn't be able to compare the two because i have not owned both at the same time befor.e

RTilbury · Jul 30, 2005, 03:46 PM

This is really a great deal, Although it would be nice to know why these were sent back to ATI. I have had this card for almost a year now and man does it rock. If they were selling the pci-e version I would buy it in a heart beat!

What is also amusing is that ATI's price list shows that the X800XTPE retails for 499, and that the X850XTPE retails for 450. I really can't bellieve they are selling this card so cheap, you cant even buy a 9800 pro on their website for this price, and the x700 pro is the same also. Amazing.

COMPusa and other stores still sell this card for 499.

Makes me kinda upset... lol

TV addict#2 · Jul 30, 2005, 09:14 PM

maybe a system build using one of these

Necrosis · Jul 30, 2005, 10:40 PM

What is the 10% off code?

ronnn · Jul 31, 2005, 04:32 PM

Ok, I broke down and am in for one. Mind you I have 3 weeks to change my mind.

Turn off your "Buyers Remorse" control, and you'll be allright

I too ordered one and I just bought a x800xl two months ago but this is just too good to pass up.

Exactly. Plus, I'm building my PCI-E based rig at the moment, and I would have loved to have a X800XT PE PCI-E card in my rig.

Tipstaff · Jul 31, 2005, 08:46 PM

Same page, but Canadian priced HERE.

$289.00 Can. for the Platnium, refurb or not, is a great deal especially if they offer a 3 year warranty ta boot. Thanks for posting about this. I'll have to send this out to friends. I'd be affraid of getting one of these though.. I might get my old card back.

That'd really suck.

Yes using the 10% discount, I got it for a total of 298.68 - including taxes and delivery. Not to bad for Ca dollars.

Nice. I'm thinking of picking up a couple as well. See if any of my customers wants one, and maybe through one into my server. I have an old promo code that seems to still be working (even after a year), so we'll see. Guess I'll sleep on it, and decided tomorrow.

Thanks again, ceato.

Can't find any experation date on the offer but once the word gets out the pre-orders might exceed the supply.

topbob · Aug 2, 2005, 11:44 PM

whats the 10% off code? my friend ganna buy one

Tipstaff · Aug 3, 2005, 08:38 PM

Both of the 10% off codes are no longer valid. They'll only get you 5% off now.

Is it against the rules to post a coupon code here?

Don't think so, but then that code would get out real quick.

MindlessOath · Aug 4, 2005, 03:25 AM

so i ordered myne, i will call about it tomarrow or friday to see when it might ship. good price, even tho its just refurbished.

it was 30$ to much for me, but well worth it seeing that i was going to buy a 200$ 12 pipe card, and now im getting a 16 pipe card for 30$ more

Tipstaff · Aug 4, 2005, 03:42 AM

According to ATIs US site the X800 Pros are "In-Stock". I figure anyone that ordered those will probably start to see them pretty soon. I'm still trying to figure out why the US site has them, but the Canadian one doesn't even though they are the same site.. technically.

Still debating on getting another XTPE for myself.

agenthex · Aug 4, 2005, 08:26 AM

Let me know when you guys get some of these boards. I want to know if it's safe to spend my hard-earned money on an upgrade before the R520.
