ups :eek: i meant 4650points.

but i think it's so low because i have a p4 2.4Ghz.

Question: can i unlock the card when i connect the two points over and under the lasercut with a pencil? or is my card locked somewhere in the gpu where i can't change it.
probably locked inside the core also

here you have a connect3d x850Pro vivo bios with 16pipelines and 1.6ns samsung ram.;)

---
do you think that we can unlock the locked cards in one year? when it won't be possible i may give my card back and fetch a x850xt (which is ~20% faster)

another question: are the card producers still produce agp-cards or are those cards discontinued?

Hello everyone, I bought a nice MSI x850 pro AGP card and I heard that it can be clocked to 16 pipes. I read all post and installed ATITool, checked the card and it has all F's. So, anybody, please edit my BIOS, and yes, Happy New Year. :toast:

Hello. I made an CD with UltraIso including Atiflash and a x850xt bios. I used the following commands in Dos: Atiflash -newbios -f -p 0 R:\1.bin
When i pressed Enter the Pcspeaker gave away a never ending "biiiiiiiiip" sound.
I tried with other commands but i often get write error because something being missmatched.

My graphic card: HIS x850pro VIVO

So what am i doing wrong? Thanks for replies. :)

Well, i wrote R:\ Because 051R15 wrote it in his example.

Okay, some hard fought lessons on how to do a bios flash from a bootable CD. Jesus, what a nightmare, but here's the juice:

Step 1: download this bootable CD ISO from bootdisk.com. It's got the CD drivers you'll need already installed: http://bootdisk.com/tennessee/flashcd.zip

Step 2: Follow their instructions to the letter, inlcluding using the free version of UltraISO. Winiso, etc won't cut it: http://bootdisk.com/txtfiles/flashcd.txt

I got errors using that modded flashrom utility, stick with atiflash. At the A:>atiflash -p 0 R:\mynewbiosname.bin -F -newbios

and I got my pipes!

Im following instructions from this page http://bootdisk.com/txtfiles/flashcd.txt

I tried to make an Bootable disc with Ultraiso including Flashrom this time. When i typed the command and pressed enter it said that Flashrom.Rom couldn't be opened :banghead: . So what am i supposed to do now? Any ideas?

Oh btw, why can't i see these numbers that are supposed to end with an "F" in Atitool? I attached a picture that shows what i see.

Hi again guys. I did flash my Bios now and when i rebooted my computer with new drivers i still got 12 pipes! I used the x850 XTPE bios and now my Atitool is looking strange with four sliders to drag (image). Also my fan is sometimes bursting up to 100% without a reason. Please help!

Edit: Now when I checked Atitool again it seems like the four sliders is gone and now it's like it supposed to be with 2 sliders.

My card is acting very strange :eek: Sorry for my bad english btw.


EDIT: I have now figured out how to see those numbers in Atitool and it seems like the card is moddable :rockout: . So now, please tell me what i am doing wrong. Sorry for doublepost.

R:\ is where the new bio is contained... it has to be entered.

Try using the modded X850 Pro BIOS for your card, or flashing back to you old bios without using the '-newbios' command now that your pipes are unlocked. Fan controls is different in the XT PE, as well as the clock speeds.

Had that exact same problem with Flashrom, BTW.

if yes, here's my BIOS and put it at 16 pipes and 500/500 clocks plz :)
BIOS linl --> ftp://ftp.ua.pt/incoming/H2O/connected.x850proxagp.vivo.1.6ns.rar

:toast:
yes u most likely can, in ATITool press shift+click settings, scroll to the bottom and where it says all the fuses, screenshot that and post it here :) congrats since u most likely can unlock by looking at ur bios, but lets find out for sure with that screenshot :toast:

those E's usually mean no unlocking sorry but overclocking can still give you a significant performance boost.

|raven|: I tried the XT PE bios first but it didn't unlock 4 extra pipes. Then i flashed with the x850pro 16pipes bios wich can be found on the first page or something i unlocked the 4 extra pipes. So if i was you i would try flashing with that bios before giving up.
