1. Some 6800LE cards are availible for sale here in sweden now (just bought one).
Gainward 6800LE and MSI 6800LE för around 2400SEK ~ $320(USD)

2. Dear xbitlabs, here in Denmark some shops have had thies LEadtek LE cards for around a month, price 1599DK kr around 159$ when we take import and tax off.

3. I think you might have made a mistake with the amount of ram that the 6800GT and ultra have , should be 256

4. I got the Gainward 6800LE yesterday, I unlocked the disabled pipelines (8 to 16) and one of the vertex shaders (4 to 5).
All done in software using : http://www.guru3d.com/rivatuner/

5. the 68oole is not the only 'lite' vers they are doing. i ordered a 6800 gt from gameve last week & got a gt 'lite' instead- mem 450 vs 500.
the gpu is suspicious too. runs at rated speed and not much more- 10mhz oc. now with that very well designed cooler leadtek has i find that a little absurd.
anyway i have talked to leadtek & they have no reg gt's only the lite vers. - wich is NOT on their website. they think they might have some reg gt available next week. so beware.

6. I didnt think that a regular 6800 would perform better, its such a big and heavy card with heat sinks on top and bottom all over the card.

7. Got a 6800LE for £50 from videocardshop.com in UK. Unlocked all vertex and pixel pipelines. Biggest PC bargain I ever got.
