30 Inch Displays Now Shipping
Various reader reports have announced that orders for the new 30" Apple Cinema Display and the corresponding required NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra DDL graphics card are now shipping. The displays, announced along with the 20" & 23" counterparts in June, have been slow out of the gate due to production problems from NVIDIA in providing the required cards.
Also announced today is the new Mac-compliant x800 graphics card from ATI which is only the second card available on the market able to drive the new large-scale displays. One major difference in the two cards is the ATI card occupies only one slot, whereas the NVIDIA requires two due to its large cooling apparatus. Pricing for the new ATI card has not yet been announced.

Awesome. It's been a while, but hopefully the product will be great enough to offset the delays. Also great to hear that there's some choice in terms of the graphics card.

The nVidia card can drive two 30" displays. Is this new ATI capable of that, too?

Depends what the X800 card is and what games you are playing. If it's an X800 Pro, the 6800 will be better, if it's an X800XT, it should be about equal for most games, if it's the Platinum Edition, it may outperform the NVidia card only slighty.
The 6800 will perform better in games like: UT2K4, Call of Duty, Doom 3
The X800 (?) will perform better in games like: Halo, WoW, Warcraft 3...

From the forums I read on MacWorld, no. :(

Yes, it seems as though you can only ( :rolleyes: ) drive one 30 inch display, as the card has one dual link DVI and one ADC. So it is a good buy for people (read: almost everyone) who doesn't need two 30 inchers or may need to hook up an old ADC Apple monitor. It also will be faster in some respects and possibly cheaper.
