Results... hi dolf, finally, I found some time to perform the measurements on my Non-VIVO-X800Pro in accordance with your instructions (I didn't resolder the resistor you initially told me to move to position R576!). my results are in the attached document. I some times had difficulties to...

hey dolf, do I have to perform those measurements on the card while it's installed and the system is running? If so, how did you manage the lack of cooling at that time? did you massively underclock your card (gpu, mem)? the card could take damage....

it's ok Dolf. - one other thought i had about the hard-fuseing of the pipelines: when comparing the upper-sides (surface) of all the X800-GPUs against eachother, are there any differences among those very small "resistors" there (if they are "resistors"?)? I assume the only other difference is...

BIOS dumps Hi Dolf, as requested, enclosed are the files you wish to analyze. the first one is the dump of the X800XT-PE BIOS by ATI that you're using on your own card (DL'ed from techpowerup's BIOS collection) after having flashed onto card (w/VIVO enabled). second one is the same as the...

Dolf, unfortunately I can't say for sure what action DID change the register 994 - simply because my first "mod", i.e. the lasercut-reconnect was probably done not very carefully and that it actually was done properly not until the second time when I had the binocular available (this helped us a...

yes, wizzard, register 994 has changed (last bit) from "e" to "f", by performing the resoldering of resistor. the laser-cut-"reconnect" had been done before the resistormod (when i posted my first rivatuner diag results). that would at least mean, that actually something HAS changed but that it...

Resistor Mod done.... Hi Dolf sorry for my late answer. the guy who could the soldering work for me was on holiday last week. this evening, he performed the mod, exactly as you instructed me: connecting the lasercut using conductive pen and moving the resistor from position 577 to position...

By the way dolf, do you happen to know where i can get an X800XT-non-VIVO-BIOS? or can this be done by Rabit-bios-editor (hack regular XT-vivo-BIOS)? by flashing a non-VIVO-bios the annoying devicemanager-issue because of missing Rage-Theater-Chip would be solved.

Damn, Dolf, UR DA MAN!!!!! HOW did u find out about that resistor-stuff??? I'm impressed. You must have made some substantial inquiries... comparing many PCBs (or photos of them) against eachother. I'm gonna give it a try; fortunately i know a friend who's a specialist in SMD-soldering. cause...

I can't wait until you tell us ur secret!! I'm almost desperated with my non-unlockable Sapphire X800Pro non-VIVO (GC20-memory). I've flashed a whole bunch of BIOSes, all without success. I've used conductive pen to close the lasercut-separated "pins" on the die. My GPU is a newer one...
