impossible to run 2 x1800xt but what you can do if you think u can pull it off is flash to xl bios then manually edit to xt speeds/latencys...this is dangerous as u can flash your card badly, and you will void warranty, but if you flashed bioses on vga cards before maybe you can give it a try...your xts become xls to catalysts and then you will get crossfire tab in ccc

i used x1800xl 512 bios by MSI, but i compared it to sapphire x1800gto2 512mb and they are identical so either one will work :)

then u have to copy over the xt timings with rabit 2.1 bios editor, and set clocks to 600/700 (thats what i have it at) @ 1.3 volts...then i use ati tool to get higher clocks if i need it...make sure u use atiflash and flash an empty bios 1st before flashing the new one...again, if you not 100% sure how to do it rather ask again, then rush things :)

good luck

if anyone takes this path, to simplify it, just use your xt bios only change the chip id so the driver thinks its an xl.

i wiil change only the description from R520 XT P/N 113-A52001-102 BIOS 1.33V 600e/700m
to R520 XL P/N 113-A52001-102 BIOS 1.33V 600e/700m with the rabit editor then save the
file with the same name and after i will update from windows xp with some specific atiflash ?

no it wont...at least not for crossfire...changing 7100 to 7109 and XT to XL does nothing because the driver still reports the old values...it must be somewhere else it can be changed...the only way to do it is the way i did it...flash x1800xl bios then see if u get crossfire tab non-grayed out...then proceed with getting the card up to speed :)

cannot enable

i cannot enable it, at the bottem it basically says my moniter is not good enough, that it must support RGB something, it says i probably have a tv plugged in and tells me to plug a standard crt or somin in, i have a crt so could it just not have the features the crossfire needs and tis y i cannot enable? btw 2 x800gto, one is r480, one r430, r480 is crossfire ready, r430 tis not, i moded the bios (well tried with rabbit) but it wouldnt allow me to change the core to a crossfireeditoin gpu, it literrally changed a number in the device id when i copied the id into the space :mad: BUT it did show the crossfire tabb when i booted up :) so i think im close.

well, crossfirejack forces that crossfire tab so dont get your hopes to high up.
you cant just flash a card to a mastercard, if that worked, i could flash my 9500 to a x1950xtx.
but i cant, because the card doesnt have the necessary components/technology

if you can drop required CCC and .net framework for CF that would be excellent :D

Ok im confused, do i need the cable to use this program, that connects the grfx cards together, that would defeat the purpose of this program as u cannot use the cable w/out a master card right? Ok i knew that answer but it was never verified, but if it works without the cable than is the cable usage just to make it look like the 4-500 dollar mastercard is needed?

yes its because they are supported oficially...i have tried with 2 x1800xt modded to xl but still with xt latencies and clocks, but somehow the cards would not synchronize and i would always get tearing...only superAA 8x-14x worked correctly

where did you find out that they work officially? according to ATi a X19x0 series card requiers a mastercard.. haven't found any indication (except the 6.4 beta driver) that 2 X1900GT is officially supported. 'cause if they are, they should work in almost every 3d game?

Really interesting thread.

Has anyone managed to crossfire 2x X1900GTs on one of Intel's Chipsets i.e 955x or 975x ??

I've read one report that someone has managed 2x X1900GT's in Crossfire on a Intel 975x Bad Axe with the official 6.8's.

I'm really interested to see if it would work on 955x, as that is my Motherboard (Asus P5WD2)...

Anyone have any idea ?

well, you need a Xpress3200 Chipset with full 16x crossfire to make them work, also flashing one of the card with the other ones bios, helped.

also note, that all you really need to do is "please" ati CCC that the cards are from the same family, this was the case with my x850 master, and x800gto slave, i moded the x800gto bios to show up as a x850, which isnt hard just follow the x800/x850 bios modding thread in this forum to learn how to. worked like a charm, but for those of you mix and matching different card families and cant get it to work, try that.
