Does ANYONE have the new ATI X800 XT PE video card? I'm trying to find one, but ATI keeps pushing back the official release date. Several sites say they have them, and a few people have recieved them, but I have had no luck.

Far Cry is a good first person shooter, but it takes a massive gaming system to properly play it. My 3.2C with 1 gig of PC-4000 RAM and a 9800XT barely handles it at 1280x1040. I am going to assume Doom III will be the same way.

Did you try newegg.com?

Wow, I've got Far Cry, still in the box, and you're giving me all kinds of warm fuzzies that I can play it adequately on my home system...Athlon 2000 XP/ATI 9500 Pro...

Last I checked, NewEgg didn't have the X800 either, I've been looking for it too. Pricy though.

Funny no one's mentioned AMD systems. An AthlonFX-53 is pretty fast and not that expensive, plus you can bump the clock speed a touch with no problems. But then if you have 3K in you pocket, you could buy a decent dual Opteron system that shouldn't have any problems doing Doom3 with all the goodies turned on.
