ATI brand X800PRO one of the first cards made can it be unlocked??

crunchy · Feb 16, 2006, 02:39 AM

Hello,

I purchased an ATI boxed and branded X800PRO card from CompUSA on the very day these were first released when the X800 series first came out. I am confused about which 12 pipeline cards can be unlocked to open the other four pipelines and which cannot, as well as which can be safely overclocked to X8000XT speeds

Can either of these upgrades be implemented on my card safely?

Any extra info or expertise that you have on this would be greatly appreciated. I hope to get some extra life out of this card before I have to upgrade, new video cards are just too expensive.

thank you in advance for your time

These are instructions to show that a card is or is not unlockable. If there is any confusion, post there.
