Rumour says the upcoming ATI X800GT is a X800Pro where bios locked the pipe??

Sorry this is in Chinese:

Remember those guys that hacked X300SE and X700Pros to run in crossfire, now they tried to unlock the extra 4 pipes on the new 8-piped X800GT! Although it failed which most likely due to the engineering sample?

Rivatuner detected that the X800GT is an 16 piped card but the bios disabled the extra pipes limiting to only 8..so they tried to flash the X800XT + Pro bios on the X800GT and it failed.. too bad they didn't succeed thou.

Do you guys remember the 9500 pro days? After its released it didn't take long before people figured out how to unlock the extra memory to 128bit with no problems at all! This is REALLY REALLY INTERESTING!


And if you go to the second page here:
http://www.hkepc.com/hwdb/x800gt-5.htm

the X800GT easily beats the 6600 series! Just figure what it can do with the pipes unlocked!

If the rumours are true, this card is defintely a BANG for BUCKS!

After continues ATi Radeon X550, ATi changes originally to use in once again Gao Chieh indicator R480/R430 core, the screen my part assembly line brings in the attack the step market, and the naming is ATi Radeon X800GT, in order to let everybody understand this item of product, we will take the lead to test HIS and Grandmars Radeon X800GT project sample.

Radeon X800GT may again open Pipeline!?

Because ATi has not certainly liked nVidia, emits opens again by the screen my Pipeline method is given third party software Rivatuner the procedure, therefore we are certainly impossible in purely again to open Pipeline with Software the behavior. Also remembered same year Radeon X800Pro just promoted, by the person was discovered might again open by screen my Pipeline, whether therefore many revised the full anticipation with the family to ATi Radeon X800GT.

The ATi indicator opens by screen my Pipeline in the simplest method is again renews BIOS, therefore we attempt X800XT and X800Pro BIOS renew to Radeon On X800GT, when result discovery although the actuation formula has recognized is ATi Radeon X800XT or X800Pro, but Active A Pipelines item or maintains 8 assembly lines, proved only depends on the BIOS renewal is unable to achieve opens again by screen my Pipeline.

RevisionIn core definition!?

Same year at the beginning of ATi promoted Radeon X800Pro, first batch certainly did not need to make any revision on the chip, only had to renew X800XT BIOS then may, but second ?? starts then to need to make the revision on chip silver, must the position which assigns buy for use the silver paint circular telegram. But we contrast X850XT and X800GT, on copper bridge and no difference, but we saw on the chip has five silvers spots, we already attempted them repeatedly use the silver paint test, finally or did not have the function. According to the merchant expressed new generation of R480, R430 already were not defines the Pipeline number by the chip surface, but we do not remove after X800GT promote, has software to be able to open by screen my Pipeline, but the opportunity actually cannot too be big.
