Disabling Pipelines on x800XTPE?

[smo]

Hi, I would like to test my ASUS x800XTPE card running at PRO speeds - ATI Tool reports "Active Pipelines" under "Overclocking" and prompts me to enter a register when I double click the option.

Is it possible to disable 4 pipelines with ATI Tool and if so - what register do I enter for 12 pipelines and 16pipelines respectively??

Thanks in advance

P.S. This is NOT a BIOS mod that went wrong and needs fixing. I need to disable 4 active, working pipelines to mod my card into a x800 PRO card.

I thought the XTPE was rated higher than the Pro version?

smo - I think this can be done via a bios mod(flashing a PRO bios), but I doubt that the register dump field can do the same thing.

atitool can only read infoormation from the bios, you cant set anything. get rabit (radeon bios tuner) and mod an x800 pro bios to fullfiill your needs. if you dont know how to i can give you an appropriate bios image, which you have to flash onto your card.

smo grab a pro vivo bios and flash it to the card with the modified flashrom from the 16p article

why would u want to do such a thing :S

probably for benchmarking purposes to have more cards to compare to in reviews
