X800Pro to X800 XT hardmod
 

I got a new baby, a sapphire X800 Pro, and it ended up under the soldering iron less then 5 hours later.

However, I don't get the 16 pipelines it ATi tool.

I still need to upgrade the bios but that shouldn't prevent me from seeing them.

I used to have a good website with a nice howto for the hardmod, but with all the other ****, I can't find it anymore in google.
Can anyone give me some help on the subject. (websites with howto, and bios downloads.
Tnx.

same problem here, it doesn't work.
tried it 5 times, no go.

owke tried the bios flashy thingie, but it's the wrong bios.
When I install this one, it asks for WDM drivers, but this isn't a vivo card. When I install these drivers, me PC just reboots during the install process (when it shouldn't)

I need the bios for the regular card.

you have to mod the files, so it doesn't install those drivers.
then disable de VIVO part in Windows, that what I read on xtreme).

the fact remains that the bios is for a vivo edition, and I can't help but wonder if that doesn't create any problems.

the pipelines remain dead, but the core/mem speeds are updated perfectly.
Oh and I'm 99.9% sure it's a *.1 core.

I'll resolder and try some other things once I get home.

man, I can only dream about that card (or buy it) and you allready want to mod it :mad: actually a bit crazy. So I like it :super: .

But I advise you to stop trying if it doesn't work, don't screw up such a nice card.
BTW, why you want to mod it? good scores at benchmarks? or playing games even better?

i think just for the kick, and the "extra" score you get with 3mark or doom3 fps

I think you get quiet a kick if you screw up that card :D

LOL:D
