| X800GTO or X800GTO2 Hey guys, Currently have a Nvidia 6600 which is good but is not that great at OC'ing and can't unlock pipelines. I was thinking of going for an ATi X800 GTO or GTO2 but there seems alot of discrepancies between them and the different manufacturers. I was going to go for an X800 GTO but then saw the GTO2 could be garanteed to do X850XT speeds. Theres a £50 difference so am wanting to make sure I get it right. Could do with some extra help deciding on model and maker |

| not worthy of a new thread.. but still bought me a Sapphire X800GTO² (limited edition).. since I've read about unlocking more pipelines.. default should be 12, moddable to 16. so I used this guide: http://www.techpowerup.com/articles/...ng/vidcard/127 and when I was checking to see if the card was indeed moddable.. my eye fell on the field "Active Pipelines".. [attachment] well.. no unlocking for me, as this card comes shipped UNLOCKED

| [g]ATI+Tray+Tools[/g] is great to work with! Easy and much faster than ATI's Control Panel; and more versatile than ATITool. ATI Tray Tools has a nice benchmark option I'm running on A64 Opteron 1.8Ghz [attachment] when I start the system with this card; the screen shows R480 X800XL BIOS hmmm.. retail card from Sapphire X800GTO²
