Powercolor x800 GT Xtreme

How can I get a performance boost for this vid card. I see posts about x800 Gt everywhere, but is the Xtreme version the same in terms of overclocking? ATITool reads that it's a R423 chip. And I'll post the fuses here. Is this modable?

You can't unlock it, and I'm sure it's a R480 (it might be a different bios installed so it reads as a R423, but it doesn't really matter), but I'm sure you can overclock it some more. Max OC on my GT is 580/580.

It's a usual GT but overclocked. Welcome!

It should be R480 (but definitely not R423). You can get another few % more performance at the same clocks if you flash it with R480 BIOS. Overclock it with ATITool and find the max. core/memory. If you have post a picture of your card and save your original BIOS. Post the BIOS here together with the overclocking results.
