[jagalino]

Sapphire X800 GTO2 AGP - Buy now while in stock!!

The mod will work ??

http://www.excaliberpc.com/Sapphire_ATI_X800GTO2_AGP_256MB/100131/partinfo-id-559967.html

THe sapphire representatives spoke, in another forum, its true , its a gto2 , not gto.

Well , Master W1zzard , would you make the mod ????

 

[SPHERE]

that is a pcie gfx card....

 

[jagalino]

No, No , pay atattion, Its an AGP.
here is another link of a AGP, but its a GTO , not GTO2

[SPHERE]

well i still think they have a typo there (1st link) but if it is a gto2 then its suposed to mod according to sapphire

btw that 2nd link is likely a card with a r430 core (you dont want that)

 

[jagalino]

man. you are a "hard to believe" person.
here is another link

Yeah sean, it's freaking proof. 3 websites are not going to make a massive typo of "pcie" to "agp", I mean the letters aren't even near the other ones. I'd love to know if it's moddable too, I was gonna buy one but couldn't wait and got a 6800

thats 2 web sites bud the 2nd link is a gto which does exist to my knowleage in agp

btw i see shit like this all the time on newegg lol the other day i saw a 9800 pro that was labeled as ddr3 on froogle

ps. that first gto2 agp has a pic of a pcie card and the last link has no pic at all

Well first of all, why are you so sure? I mean if you work for Sapphire I would take your word, but anything else is just stubborness. Plus, what would the companies do when everyone sends them back a version not compatible with their system? They might go out of business, and it's really doubtful that someone from that website would say "hmm, I don't think I'll bother reading the box, I just assume it's....uhhhh....that graphics name....oh yeah, AGP, I think that's it" 3 times in a row.

who is stubborn now lol (j/k)

like i said i see mislabeled stuff all the time on online stores how they manage to do it so often i dont know but those two sites one with no pic and another with the worng pic (most likely the right pic lol) is far from proof

 

[AMDCam]

Okay, but still, why don't you want to believe? It's one thing that it could be a typo, but what makes you SO SURE that there's no AGP version out? Sapphire and ATI don't update their sites for a while sometimes, so you can't base it off of their sites.

I like to base my help on as much fact as possible and the fact is that i have never seen or heard anything about a agp variant of the gto2 infact if i remember correctly at its launch it was said that it was pcie only


btw if you want a unlockable cheap card go for the x850 pro agp vivo thise things unlock 95% of the time and are easily flashable to a xtpe with proper cooling

 

[W1zzard]

let me find out if a gto² agp exists and if it's moddable..

 

[thedivinehairband]

There was an agp X850XT PE so it stands to reason that there'd be an AGP GTO2!

 

[jagalino]

I Found another link
a cheaper one:

http://www.computerhq.com/Sapphire_ATI_X800GTO2_AGP_256MB/100131/products/partinfo-id-567445.html

im going to buy on monday after they refresh the stock. But im living in Brazil, so... it will take a while to come here.

 

[W1zzard]

ok .. i triple checked .. there is no gto² agp product from sapphire and there are also no plans to make one ..

shops are probably selling gto's here...

 

[DR.Death]

dude it is pcie the last x800 that was agp i think was the platnum . i went thrugh about 10 sites and it is pcie. the gto is agp but the gto2 is pcie. yes no agp in the gto2 the gtos are even hard to find in agp

 

[AMDCam]

okay, well maybe someone that bought the GTO2 "AGP" will tell us what it really is. Until then we can keep assuming, but someone with experience can tell us the truth

[SPHERE]

well i certantly hope you guys get a agp gto2 but my better judgement tells me that you are ither getting pcie gto2s or agp gtos

 

[W1zzard]

checking with sapphire about that part #

 

[DR.Death]

I have looked on the sapphire websight and i did not see a agp one . yes the gto2 only comes in pcie here look for your selfhttp://www.sapphiretech.com/en/products/graphics_specifications.php?gpid=120
and this one is the gto and it is agp http://www.sapphiretech.com/en/products/graphics_specifications.php?gpid=119 there this is the sapphire site so dont mess with them'

 

[AMDCam]

Well Dr. Death, Sapphire doesn't update their site every day, like I said, so it might be out-of-date. Plus stop arguing, Cainam has already ordered it if you didn't see his post, so just wait for what he tells us.

 

[W1zzard]

thats sapphire part # is the x800 gto without ²

There is one problem with your reasoning there: Sapphire does NOT list the GTO² on their site with their products, neither PCI-E nor AGP. (possibly on the forums, though) The one you gave a link to is the GTO Ultimate which is NOT the GTO², and it doesn't even look the same either. GTO Ultimate = fanless GTO

 

[DR.Death]

yes but that is all that thay had on there site so if u dont bleave me go look
