OK, that looks like it is R480. Now I'll mod your bios for you.stead said:hey, thanks for the reply!
with the fuse data it says
CONFIG_DIE_FUSES 0xFFFFDFFF
CONFIG_SUBSTRATE_FUSES 0xFFFFFF9D
CONFIG_ROM_FUSES 0x860
GB_PIPE_SELECT 0X9550
thanks 
i'm sure i remember a program, actually i'm sure it was ati tool, that would show a comparsion to other ati cards, with a little performance benchmark, i'm curious to know the difference if any (if it works) a modded bios will do, be nice to put it up with the list of bios's, actual improvements made, i'm sure it was in ati tools, as i remember using it when experimenting with overclocking, but i can't seem to see anything there? anyone else know what i'm on about?
hrmm, just read on the ati tool documentation that the bios dump doesn't actually save the bios, so er,i'm a bit confused as one of the threads about x800/850 bios modding says it does, is the bios i've uploaded on the previous post correct?

OK, I've posted the modded bios for your 128 MB card.
well thanks for that! well it modded fine, was actually quite worried something would blow up 
after reading other peoples 3d scores i'm guessing my cards performance is quite bad, was 3300, went up to 3600 .... although both times i cancelled the tests in the same place as i was impatient
i also tested d3d rightmark
all tests seem lower...however when i tried nfsmw which was previously a bit jumpy under 32bit xp, it was now smooth
well, anyways i'm happy!
i've included the results from d3d rightmark for some reason incase anyone is wondering

I think that's the first time anyone has mentioned how it affected actual game performance. It sounds like it is working well.stead said:well thanks for that! well it modded fine, was actually quite worried something would blow up

What brand of X800 GT do you have and how much memory?elixxx said:
Someone asked me if all powercolor x800gt come with r480 core... His card uses 2.0ns memory and it's from powercolor, but he can't open his case cause he will loose his warranty... So, do all Powercolor x800gt come with r480 core? Thank you for any help...

Gecube x800GTO (AGP)
Here is my bios of Gecube x800GTO (AGP) 128mb.
Any kind of modifications on the bios would be great and I would be glad to test it. As far as I've known it's not possible to change the pipelines from 12 to 16. Anyway, any advice on OC'ing would be great. THANKS!!!

OK, I see quite a few differences in your bios, so I will post a modified version for you, yagami.

That's a bug in that version. Download 1.7 to use your bios with it.yagami said:@ShadowFlare
thx bro, btw, I'm just downloaded RaBiT 1.5 from guru3d, but when open my bios, it's had error like this:
what should I do?
I've just added the modified version of your bios to the first post.
@ShadowFlare
thx bro, I've downloaded RaBiT 1.7 from http://www.thegamebooks.com/download.php?id=21 and It's work fine
I'll flash my card later, since my pci vga card borrowed by my friend (hope don't need it)
once again, thx a lot bro...

Hello All,
I have a Sapphire X800 GTO Ultimate, and I am curious If I am able to unlock 12 pipelines to 16.
In ATI tool I have these values which seem unlockable:
ChipType: R480
CONFIG_DIE_FUSSES 0xFFFFFFFF
CONFIG_SUBRATE_FUSSES 0xFFFFFF9F.
However in RaBti, I have:
ChipType: R423
(see pictures).
So I am a bit confused about the Chip Type.
Is this card unlockable or not?
Thanx

Yes, as mmx mentioned, it is unlockable and is R480 (RaBiT just doesn't distinguish between R423 and R480). But... why did you post this here? It is COMPLETELY off topic for this thread. It should have gone in the "X800 fuses data" thread instead.vbezak said:
Hi there.
I've got a PowerColor X800 GT 256MB, with the Samsung 1.6ns memory chips. For some reason, this card lacks fan control; the fan is always spinning at full speed, and it's really loud. Every review I saw mentioned this card does have fan control, so I don't have a clue what the deal is with mine.
I flashed the card with the Sapphire 1.6ns drivers that have the vendor ID set to PowerColor, but it didn't enable the fan control capability. Neither did the PowerColor 2.0ns drivers. Online reviews are split half-and-half, some saying the card does spin down the fan, others making the same complaint as myself. What would be the difference, and how can I fix it? Are these BIOSes the answer?
Thanks.

You could possibly use the latest RaBiT version to modify the fan speed, but since the card can't get the gpu temperature, it probably won't work. I used to have one of those PowerColor X800 GT's just like what you have. It wouldn't let me view the temps or control fan speed no matter what bios I used.Kanuck said:
