Hey guys,
yesterday my new Sapphire x800 gto² arrived. After installing all drivers and stuff I tried to unlock from 12pp to 16pp. I followed every step showed at
http://www.techpowerup.com/articles//overclocking/vidcard/127/1
After flashing the bios (worked only with the -f parameter) and rebooting the card didn't work. Thank god, that i burned the original bios on the boot-cd too.
If you have any idea, how my card will work with the 16pp please post it.
Edit: I actually tried it with a other .bin from a german site (think it's the same only with other name, has the same size). Here it worked without the -f parameter but card still doesn't work with this bios.
Edit no.2: Now I used a standard x850xt bios, and it worked (only turned off Vivo support with rabit). What is the critical temperature for the sapphire x800gto²? In idle my card has now 35° C (30° C with gto² bios). I did the HL²stress test, the temperature goes up to 50° (think thats no problem, but the stress test is very short.. what about long term usage?)
thx a lot..
doc`
