actually searching and reading the x1900gt unlock thread was to hard for you? every aspect of trying to unlock\flash has already been tried... several times.

also, it is important to you to get this info fast, since you had to post a whole new thread, even though you had just asked the question in another thread you started, (wich the unlock thread also have answered your questions several times before) but searching and reading previous posts are not important?

we like to help, but not noobs like you who have never bothered to read anything but the first forum page, and have never used a search button.

stop spamming forums with useless already answered questions(on the same goddamn forum as well)

I hope your PSU dies.

well, PM'ing "F*ck you @ssh0le" and barking back is always a welcome response, especially since you googled it *After* you posted..

it just brings me back to my first point: SEARCH BEFORE YOU POST!!!

every possible aspect ofunlocking a X1900GT (except for hard-modding it) has been tried, and had no effect. you got a porche but want a ferrari, because 2 others got it.

face the facts: the X1900GT Will NEVER have 16 pipes, and I'll gladly swallow a raw egg on video and post it onyoutube if someone can hardmod the X1900GT to 16 pipes (must be completable for anyone who atleast has the skills to perform a voltmod \ knows how to solder) (I'm serious, but I want WELL documented proof if you manage to do it)

sorry if I came on to strongpreviously, but the 20 last pages of the unlock thread where noobs who didnt read\searced shait and almost demanded that we magically transform their bios so they can unlock 4 extra pipes that might not even be there, or maybe laser-cutted.

the cores that could be unlocked where engineering sample cores... the consumer market ones are neither.. coincidence??


Edit: I have flashed both my gt's (sapphire and club3d) to xt 256 and none worked

I appologize myself and i wasnt asking for anyone to mod anything or get the 16pipes i just wanted to know if flashing to xt could be done and if it worked but i guess i didnt read enough of the forums...i did flash it to my gt and now instead of the r580le it just has r580 and doenst say its a gt only that its a 1900 series card...if u dont mind me asking is that normal?

changis dont be so harsh, there are 79 pages in that thread and i think most people would get pissed off after just reading a few (took me an hour or two to read them) and you cannot say that a x1900gt will never be turned into an XT, have you tried every method to unlock that card, ATI have locked it and it uses the same chip so there must be a way of unlocking it, just hasnt been found yet. Didnt tofu get his unlocked? ok he may have had one of the engineers chips but he still did it.

Guys it is enough to read just the first post of the first page (X1900gt Unlock Bios Found!!! - theread) to understand. But to read it carefully in order to enter into a problem not just to read it. I don't want to judge anybody but want to say that it is better to first read and after that to ask :) .
