Order youre M17x with CF 5870 now! =)

We'll cutting a long story short, im getting contacted by a replacement team to talk me to about my r2, replacing my 8 month old r1 this wednesday. I Phoned sales with the fake intentions of buying CF 5870's on M17x r2 and if it was available, the guy went to check and said i can do that for you if u want to order sir, i said i would contact him again! Just incase this was a one off case, i phoned just now to a sales person, who said she would phone me back, 30 mins later got a call back, she said yes we can make 5870 CF for you if u want to order, and i promoted her that i would call her back! so Yes you can get CF 5870, just phone up and order youre machine =) o and also. i asked why it wasnt on the site, and if it would be on the site, she said that it wouldnt be. I asked why was this, and she said that bascially 1 in every 100 calls ask for CF 5870's and only a few cases want it! soo either there holding back till E3 to unvail new cards or not many want it! who knows! but u can order it =)

On wednesday i plan to ask for CF 5870s in the replacement deal hopefully! even tho the CF might not work, it might some point after a bio or driver update!!

sorry for spelling/grammar im abit dyslexic.

 

Fine. I will give it a try tonight lol...

 

Hmmm, I'll have to give them a call

 

I'll order when I can believe they are actually putting them out. Right hand never knows what the left hand is doing at dell.

 

well she went to the head manager to ask she said... so its all good man i guess.

 

Well the BIOS/vBios says it supports 5870 Crossfire, so i suppose someones just gotta try it.

 

Not another phone story, lol. What country was this in?

 

Uk..

....
she even said when i would contact her back, if i can give her my email address, for the invoice of the spec i want.

 

I would bet money you won't get them. Everyone who has tried had their order cancelled on them. They will most likely be available in the US first.

 

well ill push on wednesday when i get phoned for CF 5870's and well see whos right =) and as far as im aware noone as tried part from me..

 

There have been 2 or 3 people in the uk on these forums that have tried and said they ordered over the phone. That was a week or two ago. None of them ended up being successful. I hope you are right though.

 

Indeed.. some story about getting dual CF5870, but never a real screenshot of the proof, and always over the phone only etc etc etc.

We want the proof, or as they say in troll lingo, gtfo

 

Yea, my guess is that reps have no idea what they are selling. It's all numbers to them 48, 58, 98 ect, makes no differance.

 

couldnt care if u think its fake or real mate! im just posting what ive experienced, so thought it would elp others! couldbt care if u dont order cf 5870's i plan to push for them on wednesday! but ill let u know ^^

 

Don't get me wrong, I sincerely hope you are right and are able to get them. You would be the first one. And, knowing they work would be good for everyone.

 

I wasn't trying to be rude if it came of that way.

But that line.. couldn't care what others think is what they all used (now I don't hear a peep from them )

We're not trying to call you a lier, but more we want proof for ourselves, so we can rejoice in the fact these exist and will come to USA/Australia soon!

 

Ha not quite true - one of my rep "knew" (lol) that SU4100 is single core and I won't be able to play any game.

 

lol...that kinda proves his point...

 

What do you mean none of them ended up being successful? I ordered mine on the 13th,

well, did you actually get it yet?

 

Ith would be more believable with a screen shot

 

And, what's the status of the order? Boxing, shipped...etc?

 

That's what I am curious about...how many of these orders are actually being built now?

 

Yea, LIKE I said, no-one puts a screenshot. Copying and pasting the order form doesn't show us anything.. we're hungry mo-fo's for proof.

That and we can't believe it till you get it. Screenshot first though.

EDIT: According to my previous post.. a computer with THAT config comes to £3,114.00 (without the blu-ray). Whats going on there.. a 1000 pound discount?

EDIT 2: Didn't realise you only had the 820. How much of a discount did you get still?

 

Once it's back on the Dell website I might believe it. Till than, I'm considering other options

 

Give him time to get finished editing it in photoshop, and then we will have our "proof".

here is mine.

 

lol oh no. I have a feeling this thread is closing soon.

 

LOL'd. Btw, nice CPU ^^

 

OH WOW! Fazian Core! That beats even the OLED screen!
My belief is you got this directly from Dell HQ?

 

Of course he didn't. His "knowledgeable" sales rep sorted it for him.

 

got a direct line to the future thanks to my flux capacitor.

 

5000GB harddrive, eh? Pretty impressive lol

 

LOL, is that all you noticed? 10.73GHz cpu

 

hehe I work with systems using 12, 14, and even 30GHz ranges, so that did not impress upon me as a 5 terabyte drive

 

Lolfaizian core gpu!


Joker you need to copyright that

 

I actually can take a screenie of my Order Receivement mail where it clearly says :
490-12186 Graphics : Dual CrossFire 1GB ATI GDDR5 Mobility Radeon HD 5870
But why bother? 2 days after that i got a mail from Dell saying my order was cancelled because some parts could not be manufactured.

Dell Bestelling - Geannuleerd / Commande Dell - Annulation de votre commande
"Uw bestelling bij Dell [xxxxxxxxx] is geannuleerd.

We kunnen uw huidige bestelling niet volledig vervaardigen vanwege een probleem met het combineren van de verscheidene componenten."
Your order with Dell [xxxx] has been cancelled.
We can't complete your current order because of some troubles with the combining various components....

 

Exactly, they don't have the CF 5870 kits on the production line. So obviously it will either get cancelled once it hits the build stage, or you will receive 4870s instead.

 

I think we'd all appreciate it, if the next time somebody posted that Xfire 5870's were available, it would be on the website, not 'they heard from a rep', or 'custom ordered through a rep'. This forum has had way too much heresay on this topic and it has people on edge. Either that, or the next person that does this, and it's not available, prepare for a mob attack.

 

Yeah. I called and got the runaround about no CF 5870 configs being available.

I've got a very narrow window, I can't wait much longer. I will probably have to order the single GPU 5870, or I'll never be able to get a laptop here.

 

I wonder how different the heat sink ect. are between these and the 4870s?And if there is a way to see if the pin from the cf cable on the 4870 is compatible with the 5870 cf connector.It might be time to find the part number and order 2 to see if it is possible.

 

Good luck, and enjoy those new 4870's.

 

That's what I figure. Order now, and I'll worry about adding a 2nd card later lol.

 

Maybe you will never have crossfire 5870 did you guys think of that? Maybe they will jump straight to the 59.. serie

 

Ha. lets kick things up a notch.

 

elzar?? They will probably go for the 5970 if they havent fixed the issue by june. is there a new deadline

 

owned? Coz there on the us site... No need to appologise.

 

Lets see if you get them first
but you cant blaim people for that, They just dont trust Dell reps anymore.

 

I doubt it as mines will be a replacement setup, and I hope they will give me what I paid for my r1 so I can pick r2 stuff equal to the price

 

Well its more then likely that you get them.
