heres a quick guide for anyone who wants to try the mod...

youll need a sapphire x800 pro vivo, (the one with Samsung K4J55323QF-GC16 memory) the gigabyte flash tool(gvf11), flashrom 237, an xt bios, the gigabyte xt bios and atitool 0.0.20.

there seems to be 100% success so far with there cards, but you never know if ati will change their production process after this info becomes more widely available??

if your new to bios flashing read this http://www.rojakpot.com/default.aspx?location=3&var1=91&var2=1 ,its quite comprehensive although youll need flashrom 237 instead of the one used there.

first flash the bios with the gigabyte bios using the command gvf11 -f -p r80x256v.f1, then reboot and use install cat 4.6 and then atitool to read how many pipes you now have, if you have 16 proceed, if not then reflash with the original bios. at this point if your max overclock mhz will have dropped by 15mhz core and 20mhz mem approx.(is this because the voltage on the gigabyte bios is lower?)

now flash the bios with flashrom 237 to another xt bios,(flashrom -f -p 0 "xtbios".bin) I used the official xt bios from ati. this will boost your max overclock again to what it was before. (does anyone have a bios that takes the max overclock higher still??)

at this point I flashed back to the original pro bios because I carnt reach the xt speeds, just 515/535. flashing back will give you a 16 pipe pro as the pipes youve unlocked will still be there, but if you reach the xt speeds then there should be no reason to do so.

the advantage of unlocking my extra 4 pipes and overclocking the card has given me a 2000+ higher mark in 3d mark 03, and has made far cry run at approx 15fps faster with max details 1024/768. the card now runs 5C higher but thats nothing to worry about.

feel free to add or take away from this guide, and thanks everyone who has posted on this page;) and GL.

Για τη Sapphire δεν μπορώ να εκφέρω γνώμη, καθώς ως γνωστόν η εταιρεία έχει μείνει χωρίς αντιπρόσωπο στην Ελλάδα... το κακό με το mod είναι πως ο αγοραστής μπορεί να δει αν γίνεται μόνο αφού έχει αγοράσει την κάρτα, καθώς φαίνεται από το batch No που είναι γραμμένο στο core αν ανήκει στις "τυχερές" κάρτες.

 

Μόλις προχθές ήρθε στα χέρια μου μία X800 Pro από τη GeCube (η νέα "αδυναμία" του Πλαισίου :roll: ), θα κοιτάξω αν γίνεται το mod και θα postάρω τα αποτελέσματα...

 

Πάντως αν δεν είστε 100% σίγουροι για αυτό που κάνετε ΜΗΝ το επιχειρήσετε, μπορεί να καταλήξετε με μία εκτός εγγύησης χαλασμένη κάρτα των €500
