Ok, should I use the trixx oc utility from sapphire, or ATITool to oc it?
I would use both but probably ATITool will be better (I will suggest you older version).
Ok, should I use the trixx oc utility from sapphire, or ATITool to oc it?
dont say ur pretty sureOk. It's a Sapphire, and I got it from Newegg, so I'm pretty sure it's really R480. So stock cooling should be sufficient to oc it to 500 core?
Here is the bios Dolf:
Is there anyone who could help me? I attempted to test the card with ATItool (all versions that i could find: 21, 24, 25b14 and 25b15). What i got in every case was the symptom with the black screen that i listed in aprevious post. After rebooting the computer and restarting ATItool a small window informed me that ATItool did not shutdown properly, the last settings were .......
Are these the numbers that i can take as the last stable clock? Is this how the testing goes? I looked at the instructions on this forum and while they are helpfull in developing a general understanding of the steps they may be outdated. They depict ATItool 21 while this particular version is no longer available for download. I found one in another site which seemed to me very different than the one depicted in the instructions. Anyway please someone help me understand what to do and what ot look for. Thank you.
That are your absolutely maximums (after that you already know what happens ). If you want to use these absolute maximums you have to know that it is good idea to downgrade your core with 10MHz that the absolute max. and the memory with 10-15MHz. If your card is stable at these new max. clocks keep them if not continue to decrease in steps of 5MHz until you find stable clocks.
I got a new Sapphire 800 GTO. Checked the fuses and lo and behold, it has the proper fuse sequence and 12 pipes running. So I dinked around got a blank screen once. Typed in the dark and flashed backed to the saved bios. Praise be and I got it back then I tryied the modded bios.bin posted here and now I got 16 pipes but now instead of showing a R480 as it did before I started this fisaco, now it says R430. Which way am I better off?
Can this be fixed?
Oh ya, I can't run the ATI tool as something to the video card not be selected or something.
Think I'll go back to the old bios for now.

Hello, I'm new to this whole flashing business, but from reading this thread I believe that I have the correct X800 GTO for the 16 pipe unlock. This is an AGP card, by the way. Is it possible to use WinFlash to do this? I don't have a floppy drive installed at the moment, but I suppose I could put one in if its a must. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi guys! I am a newbie in the whole overclocking thing, so please try to forgive me for my stupidity... I've read at least 300 posts and now I am more confused than before I started...If somebody can help me I would really appreciate it. Here is what I know:
I have an Ati Radeon X800GTO by Sapphire
The chip name is R480
The card itself is red color...
I tried to follow the instructions provided bu dolf, but I couldn't actually find how to "dump the bios" using ati toools...can't see that option anywhere.. and the other thing is that if somebody tried to unlock the pipes on that particular model and it was unsuccessful I'd better stay off.. I posted some pictures, please let me know if you need more info.
Thanks in advance
My card has those exact same specs. Now, I realize that I can't unlock the extra pipes, but I saw that he managed to OC his card to about 579/579. I decided to try it too, and to my surprise, mine went up to 607/604 without going over 70C according to ATITool (and stayed closer to 68C most of the time). I stopped it there because I was afraid I might be doing something wrong, since I've never OCed a video card before... so I was wondering, should I stop there, or could I keep going until around 75C? Or is this too high and I should lower it?I got my x800 GTO today.
Here is the info on it:
How does it fare? Seems different than most others.Dolf?
Thanks for any help.
