X800 fuses data for unlocking

[dolf]

Can anything be done with this card?

Unfortunately just overclock.

 

[dolf]

Hey dolf you've unlocked Xterms Xpertvision x800 GTO so im wondering if mine can be unlocked also.. im pretti sure mine is the same here is my BIOs attached. let me kno what else u need. thank you so much for taking the time to take a look

The core seems R481 with no chance for unlocking but if you can show me picture of the core especially I can tell you more.

 

[RandyG]

thanks for the reply Dolf

i wish i can show you a picture of my core?? i dont kno where to start? could you please direct me where to go haha sorry for the trouble.

 

[RandyG]

ohh yeah the chip type shows r420 in atitool?? or is that a different thing to the core type.

 

[patton45]

i have the r481 and the pipes are lazer cut. i want to do the hardmod to unlock the pipes where can i get the sodder pen?

 

[dolf]

ohh yeah the chip type shows r420 in atitool?? or is that a different thing to the core type.

The ATITool can show everything but the core can be different than in ATITool. Just picture from your card (core) is real.

 

[RandyG]

ohh ok.. i wish i had a webcam or camera.. anyways sorry for ur trouble im getting a new rig next week so doesnt realli matter i overclock this card to 533.25 Core and 420 Memory in atitool without any kind of cooler its good enough to play Fear for now haha. Thanks anyways Dolf

Unfortunately your card will remain with 12 pipes. It is not possible to open the last quad. The card is allready flashed with 16 pipe BIOS but the GPU has phisically cutted quad which is not possible to be activated. You can flash XP or XT PE BIOS and you will have 12 pipe XT or XT PE.

Thanks dolf for your quick reply

I think my card might be a overclocked x800 SE with 12 pipes open not 8 pipes but I was really hoping that my x800 PRO 12 pipes was a underclocked x800 XT 16 pipes because the cards look alike and the first ones used this R420 chip.

Do you think this Hardware mod might work on this R420 chip set?

Definitely hardware mod won't open any pipes. It is 100% sure (after long research I am 1000% convinced in that) unfortunately I will say. About X800SE, X800PRO or X800XT they are absolutely the same hardware just core is not 100% functional on X800Se and X800PRO's. The memory also could be different. The link with the optimistic prognosis for opening was just early assumption which turns false.

Hi there I've been looking for a way to speed up my card a little and when i found this page i thought that this might be a solution ^^

Hope you can help me (Or atleast tell me what i can do)

Hello, I have Ati x800Gto PCI 256MB DDR2 . Here is a screenshots of my atitool, anyone knows if i can unlock the 4 extra pipes and how?
Thx

[dolf]

You can't unlock pipes on that card. Try to ocerclock it hard . It should overclock pretty well if it realy has R480. It the core is R430 you will notice max. overclock of 420-430MHz.

 

[k0rn_h0li0]

i have an agp x800 256mb

can i oc? don't matter i don't need 16 pipes just enough so i can see the dark spots in cs!

soldering? now how do i do that? post a link to a picture and i might attempt!




how long do i run ati tool for and which first? memory or core? core could reach 573 but memory idk yet haven't ran it.

Soldering is useless because no more pipes are posible on that core. The overclock of the core is more important but you wouldn't set more than 560MHz if the max core found by ATITool is 573.

 

[snuif09]

is the x800 fast cause im thinking of buying one???

 

[k0rn_h0li0]

its a good card i'd have to say. if you have the funds to get a better one than this do so if you are on a budget this is also a good card to get. yeah i set it to 540 for both memory and core and its stable for now but to boot load to the OS is really slow but for now its the best i can do without having it crash on me anymore. its at 28c also used to be 31 but 0_0

Alright... You have probably had a thousand of these questions asked, but sifting through all those pages is daunting. (And I did spend a couple of hours reading through them).
My question is, I have bought an XpertVision Radeon x800GTO off ebay (To replace my Radeon 9550)

The Questions are, has anyone un-locked the pipes on this card? Are all the XpertVision X800GTO's based on the same core? Is it possible to un-lock the pipes just using RivaTuner or something instead of flashing the BIOS?
And would I notice a large increase in my games? I managed to get Crysis running on low settings on the Radeon 9550 with 25+ fps would I be able to achieve Medium Quality?
The rest of the System is an Athlon XP 3200+ @ 2.4ghz 1gb DDR400 memory, and the Radeon 9550, which is getting upgraded to the x800GTO.
The only reason I bought the card was because it was cheap.
(It was selling around the same price as the Radeon 9550's on ebay).
And cheaper than the Geforce 6 6800 series and 7600 Series.
If I can't do a software mod of any kind, I'll post my ATI Tool stuff as soon as I get the card, and thank you for you're help.

You can only unlock the pipes on a card by reflashing the bios afaik. Post a screenshot when you get the card, all fuse data can be different from card to card even if it is the same manufacturer. The pipe unlock isn't a noticable differnce, but you will see it in any benchmarks that you do.

Hi, Dudes!
I've got an unbelivable problem. I flashed my Sapphire x800GTO/256/AGP/R430/1.6ns card to handle its 16P. It worked fine in a special case when flashed into AGPX850XT (failed) and then to PCI-EX800XL, because the BIOS of the Rialto bridge.
But!
After that I realized that the cooler's fan not works fine, exspecially when it runs 3D applications. Why? I thought the problem is probably caused by the BIOS flash. Maybe this bios is for a card with no external power input! That's why the AGP cannot power my card.
But!
When flashing again using Club3D's X800XL BIOS, it failed.
I tried to reflash, but now the ATIflash can't read the BIOS ROM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WTF?
I tried to get information about the adaptors in the system with command
atiflash -i and atiflash -ai, then the ATIflash made the floppy drive seeking, and then done nothing. Same problem when typing atiflash -t (tests access to VBIOS)
Please help me!

ohhh i remember this hot card i had a Xpertvision R X800GTO AGP 256MB DDR3 256 bit TD it was really nice in Wolfenstein ...

little mystery about Sapphire X800 GTO R430

Hello !

I've for a about year used Sapphire X800 GTO 256 MB AGP . Recently I fitted an Accelero S2 heatsink + Acutake 120 mm fan on it. This brought down temperatures to 36 idle and 50 in stress for previous 42 / 58 on stock cooler.

some ATItool v0.26 info

Catalyst Version 7.5
Device ID 554F
Chipname R430
Memory Size 256MB
Memory Bus Width 256 Bit
Active Pipelines 12
Default GPU Clock 425.25 MHz
Default Mem Clock 506.25 Mhz
CONFIG_DIE_FUSES 0xFFFFBFFF
CONFIG_SUBSTRATE_FUSES 0xFFFFFF9E
CONFIG_ROM_FUSES 0xA61
GB_PIPE_SELECT 0x12B84

I know that I don't have correct fuses for 16 pipes but what bugs me is the fact that core ( R430 on chip , no laser cut visible ) is running stock on 425 MHz instead of default 400 MHz and memory ( infineon 2.0 ns ) @ 506 MHz. No overclock, runs rock solid. This is photo of my card :

www.kohryu.com/picture/sapphire/x800-gto-agp.jpg

Did previous owner make some mods ( another bios ) or maybe there is some hidden oc potential ?

update :

I o/c this card to 459 core and 555 memory , not bad as for sh*tty R430 core.
