Hey, I have a Sapphire X800 GTO2 (not the Dual DVI ViVo, it has one DVI and one VGA, no RAGE chip) which I unlocked following this site's article a long time ago, and am very happy with the results. The card runs fine, has a full-fledged R480 and 1.6ns Samsung GDDR3, running cool with an AC ATI5 silencer at 585/600 (completely stable)... I want to flash it to a BBA X850 XT PE PCI-E 256MB bios on winflash which I got off this site ... are these cards/bioses compatible? Can I be sure that this "ATI X850 XT PE (PCI-E) 256 MB | Nov 8th 2004 10:17 AM | Nov 29th 2004 9:04 AM | 540 / 590 Samsung 1.6" bios isn't the Dual DVI XT PE?
I want to do this so I can use my card in an X850 CrossFire system.. the current bios still reads it as an X800 GTO. Please no comments on my choice of X850 Xfire, I know all the downsides to 1st gen CrossFire, that's not the topic at hand.
Before I click the program button I want some assurance. Am I A-OK? I can't see any incompatibilites at all.. this is one of the first gen X800 GTO2's with the red PCB (not the Dual DVI ViVo), it came with a 400/490 @ 12p R480 bios, it's not one of the wierd ones with an already unlocked R430 bios or w/e.
If there is another X850 XT PE bios compatible with my X800 GTO2 (Not the Dual DVI + ViVo) that is better?
