X800 GTO² to X850 XT BIOS Mod

[AMDCam]

Well hopefully that guy is saying the GT's aren't compatible. We're talking about the GTO2's. Does anyone know if an AGP version will be available and if it will overclock just as well? Thank you.

I was the unregistered above.

I agree hopefully we will be able too, I just did not want some poor sob to go buy a GT and think they would be able to unlock it. I had a x800pro vivo that was flashable and great. I am totally for this, but the gto2 listed there is a might bit expensive at the moment considering it is unknown until people begin getting the retail cards.

You can get a x800xt for $290, and a x800xl for $239, so $249 is not the best deal ever. Now if it was a bit less I would definitely jump on it, but for now I will refrain.

I agree - this is a nice card but is not so attractive from a price/(potential)performance perspective at $249. There have been too many good deals on R4xx cards over the last few weeks (I've bought 2) and with R5xx on the way there should be more.

I bought a powercolor x800gt and from what Ive read u can only unlock 4 more ontop of the standard 8 pipes. I can now see a connect3d card for £4 more. Im seriously considering returning this card and buying the connect3d. Just one thing I would like to know is it possible to bios unlock this card or should I be aiming for a Sapphire?

I see that

have it for sale is this the right one?

 

[superdav007]

only sapphire is coming out with the GTO2? when will it be out in the market? wat will the product name be called? because the website at sapphire hv nth abt GTO2. it has just GTO extreme edition. & is it that all sapphire GTO2 can be modded? confused..

 

[grtek]

Does anyone know if this mod will work with the Connect3D version of this card? Well I mean has anyone tried it?

 

[W1zzard]

only sapphire will have the gto². other manufacturers have the regular gto which can not be modded. the prodcut will be called gto² and should appear in stores next week i hear. all gto² from sapphire can be modded

 

[grtek]

That is so freaking sweet. Thanks man.

Sapphire X800GTO² and X800GTO Fireblade Edition both can be modded?? or just GTO² can be modded?

 

[W1zzard]

does "X800GTO Fireblade Edition" look like "GTO²" to you? try to search for the little 2

 

[intel igent]

what is the success rate for this mod?

 

[AMDCam]

Yeah, what IS the success rate? And, how much will it cost on release date, because anything past $250 is really barely even worth it, even with the mod. And will it be AGP and PCIe, and if so, will the AGP be able to be modded up to X850XT PE like the one you tested? Thank you

 

[daysleeper]

Any information about the price??.

 

[Haplo_09]

Well guys it looks like not all x800gto2 are moddable.
I recieved mine today, and after flashing ati tool still says 12 pipes. Even though the the card had all F in their appropriate places, as manual mentioned.

Did anyone had a simmilar experience.. ??

By the way what would happen if I try to flash it with x850xt bios.. ??

Sapphire or what??

 

[Haplo_09]

yes. Saphire exactly, with label gto2

 

[intel igent]

i think you were supposed to flash it using the xt bios

 

[Haplo_09]

well guys, I figured out the problem. when I flashed for the first time I used ati flash,
and I had to use -f command. After i flashed I had to reinstall drivers completely, and remove 5.9 catalyst. Number of pipes remained the same.
Next time I used flashrom instead of atiflash, and everything worked fine. My card is seen as x850 series with 16 pipes.
So guys sorry for wrong info. At that time I was really pissed, and wanted to crush the video card. Aparrently atiflash didnt do its job.

 

[intel igent]

so you were successful? how much did the card cost? thnx

 

[Haplo_09]

Yep IT works. I feel so happy, It comes with oc software, which determines stable speeds. Mine were 600 Hz mem and 600 HZ core. However I didn’t leave it so high, since I dont need it and also a little bit afraid to fry it.
I paid 270, for this card 250 + 20 delivery 2 days ago. ( that’s why I was so pissed after first unsuccessful unlocking) Right now the price is 210 $ + 10 $ delivery.
So guys this is an excellent chance to get Ati x850 XT PE.

good luck gyus with purchase. IF you have any questions about card, ask ..

Also sorry for bad english , since it not my native language : ))

Sounds as if this store is the only one that currently sell it

This card will for sure be my next buying

Any reseller found in Europe ?

From what i understood there would be 4 GTO made by Sapphire : Hybrid, Ultimate, Fireblade and GTO², where only the GTO² is moddable ?
