Thank ND, thx a lot mate. I really owe u 1.

So basically have to change the bios file name to make it work. So u change Ati's bios name and got it to work. But have u (or any1 u know) tried changing the name of "ASUS X800XT" bios to say "X800XT" (or sth) and tried to flash with it as well???? My concern is - since its an ASUS card, isnt it safer to use a ASUS bios instead of Ati's ones??? Another thing, did u have any probs with ur voltages. I ask u this becos i have the same card as u do, and i dont know how to check out the cards' volt ratings. Do u know how to do it?? If so, plz tell me how.

A lot of Saphire X800pro VIVO owners seemed (in this forum and in ohters as well) had problems (stability and heating mainly) with their cards after flashing it to a XT pte. It seems it becos their ones r 1.3v cards (atleast they say it). How do u know its 1.3/1.4v anyway?

So, did u have to change ur voltage with the "pencil" method?? I hope not, since i dont know how it works. And how about artifacts and spooky/broken images, have u experienced any of it after flashing?? If u had any probs, plz give me an account of it, i would possibly flash back instead of having a problematic card. But I sincerely hope u have had no such problems!!

ThX u again, i really cant thank u enuff!!!!!!
