greetz
You have to flash with flashrom to unlock the pipes:
flashrom -f -p 0 newbios.bin
Flashing with atiflash will NOT unlock them!
Believe me, i tried atiflash first and flashrom after.
Only flashrom unlocks thme! :)

@kohan69, thank you =o)
No, its not "good enough" for HDR and SmartShader3.0
It doesnt support it. (but the x1000 series does)
Yet, most games still look great and have decent performance.
AoE 3 will run fine, and look great, even without "hdr"
your welcome, anytime :)

Got my Connect3d x800gto today.
Modded to 16 pipelines with no worry once I found flashrom16p.
Have some results once I get home and put it in a real machine. :)
Edit : Some early results in a work machine. Core fails after 540, gets way too hot I think, got mem to 540 as well before I stopped and got back into work.

have a 400+ W psu, turn the fanon MAX using ati tool (i know its loud)
check under heatsink, what core u got?
my core can do 570, but overheats, at 63c, if overclocked, it gets unstable

I'll check it out tonight, don't have any thermal paste to apply at the moment.
The machine I was running it on here at work only had a 250W psu, I have a 500W at home though heh.
Didn't know about the fan control in ati tool, thanks for that.
I was wondering about a 3rd party heatsink for this card, anyone running anything but stock?

Cheers for that KoHaN, I don't think water is an option (I'm a cheap b@stard) but that cooler looks great.
Not sure if it'll fit in my case though, I have a Big Typhoon that is fairly close to the gfx card.
I'll do some measuring tonight though heh.

Had a look at the core, didn't say r480 or r423.
This is what was on there ::=
215RB JAGA12F
GG3885.1
0506AA
Chucked the fan on full, it is bf2 stable at 565/540. I think the mem's maxed bout there but I could bench up to 580 without anything major.
If I try 585, I get reboots and freezing.
Might be time to learn some voltmods?

I've been able to max out the core at 585 as well and gotten the mem above 600 successfully. I will look into the voltmod and see if I can squeeze a little more from this card. I did pop the heatsink and fan to attach the wb and noticed it is a R480 with Samsung memory. The only downside to this is that overclocking it raises the temps in the watercooling circuit so that would force me to move into a bigger radiator etc etc.

This is how I did it ::=
Created bootable cd using this technique (http://www.nu2.nu/bootcd/#cdromsi) and including the files for flashrom16p (http://www.techpowerup.com/articles/100/images/flashrom16p.zip) and the correct bios (http://www.techpowerup.com/articles/overclocking/vidcard/127/2) for your card.
Booted from the cd and ran "flashrom16p -f -p 0 newbios.bin"
Rebooted and enjoyed the goodness.

Connect3d x800 gto (for sapphire, replace the bios files)
Floppy Technique:
Insert unneeded floppy
run drdflash.exe (creates a bootfloppy)
copy contents of flashrom16p to floppy (root directory "a:\_HERE_", not a:\flashrom16p\_HERE_)
reboot, boot with floppy
(the c3d.bin is the back-ed up original 12pipeline connect3d bios, c3d16.bin is the 16 pipelines connect3d bios)
after it boots, type the following:
flashrom -f -p 0 c3d16.bin
it should say success or something.
If this guide does not work, you've done something wrong, read it again, and if still having problems, tell me ;)

this one (http://simon.webideal.ca/X800GTO2/sx850pe.bin) work best for me (sapphire x850xt pe with vivo I disabled)

With artic cooler on and with VGPU MOD at 1.47. Probably going to have to do the OVP mod as any more than 675ish it crashes.
My motherboard only works at X8 pcie so that is prob why my score is very poor. I hope anyway :)

correct voltmod guide?
http://www.techpowerup.com/articles/overclocking/voltmods/112/2
well I was looking around in some german boards and asked some guys if they successfully modded their Connect3D cards.
there were some successfull people telling me their cards could be modded without any problems.
but one mentioned that some Connect3D cards might have lasercutted pipelines - is this true?
I never heard of Connect3D GTO cards having laser-cutted pipelines.
anyway I think I'm going to buy a connect3d this month :>
I don't like my 6600GT anymore - I feel so damn slow :stick:

The connect 3d's are not laser cut. They are just like the GTO2's but you arnt garunteed R480. Sometimes you will get R423. The other difference is that they ahve 2ns ram instead of the GTO2's 1.6ns.
But despite the slower ram there are a number of people on the forums getting close to or hitting 600mhz on the mem.

do you think its safe to have vgpu @ 1.48 with zalman vf700 and as5? idle temps are 30-32c , load max around 57c. reason is as it seems to droop about .2v under load so if i have at 1.45 i only get 1.43 under load. so at 1.48 i get a nice 1.46
i heard air is safe max 1.5v

Sorry for the lack of details earlier.... :slapass:
Drivers are the 5.10 WHQLs...will definately upgrade to the 5.11s for the OGL boost when they are released.
BIOS is just the basic ati x850 xt pe bios from techpowerup. I then disabled the VIVO in the Device Manager. I think this bios has pretty tight ram timings...it is the only explaination on why I cant go above 600 on my mem. :cussing:
VGpu was 1.62 via VR. Nothing higher does anything for me except add heat. Cooling is MCW55 block in my normal watercooling loop. Max temps when running ATI tool @ 660/600 is 41C. As winter sets in, I will have to break out my water chiller (live in Montana). Its a window mounted push/pull cooler that keeps everything outside, but pipes cold water back into my loop. I think 700mhz core bench is easily possible.
I have a 80mm fan blowing over the voltage regulators on the card. They still hit 50C under load which is starting to get a bit warm. Moving voltage above 1.6ish started to really skyrocket this temp.
Now that I have taken the card on a few first dates, I am going to go back and try some suicide runs at 1.85VGpu to see if there is anything left in the core.

However, i doubt the voltage is different. It only has tighter memory timings :)
Hey :p: I haven't made any bios lol
I only edit the stock Sapphire X850XT PE bios by disabling the ViVo function

well i got my card today.. My C3D X800GTO that is.
on stock cooling it ran 3Dmark 01 just fine at 580/580. GPU will do 600 core but it locks up as its running at 75C.
Sadly my system took a dump after i restarted (restarted to install 3dmark 05) and havnt been able to test any further since..
If I can get it running tonight I will post some 3dmark 05 scores and do some watercoolings runs and show u guys how far it can really go. Just a guess but i would say this board will do 620/620 unmodded. Prolly not much more out of the memory as it is 2NS.
oh ya forgot to mention that its at 12 pipes right now. When i get the computer working again i will flash to 16 pipes.

Thank you, your posts on overclockers.com forum made me pull the trigger on this one. Man 3 shy of 7k :-(
Glad I actually helped someone :P. And yeah, it's a pain. I can't get 7k no matter what I do. My stupid value ram is holding me back real hard. I wish I still had my OCZ VX. Good news is, by the end of December, I'll have TCCD and my card will be vmodded with a zalman gpu cooler, and I'll POSSIBLY have some phase on my opty 146, so 7k will be a breeze, even if my opty has to be on air :).

BlackPearl
11-08-2005, 08:16 AM
I use all of the above to test for artifacts (ATITool first). 550 isn't the best ever, but certainly not bad for 2.0 ns memory. Are you using any enhanced cooling? That might help a little.
What are you guys getting for cores on the Connect3D GTO's?

Well. Look at it this way.
You can get your max clock on stock voltage and stock cooling
590/605, Let's say.
However, your card might crash at 68c overclocked.
See my point?
Due to heat/stability issues, the cooling will restrict your overclock

Found my max this morning on my C3D. 594/573 which gave me 6983 in 3dMark05.
Any more on the core and it reboots/crashes, any more on the mem and the same.
Getting some aftermarket cooling soon, nothing as great as the Viper mods, just an ATI Silencer.
I can't use a V-1 as my cpu cooler is a Big Typhoon and would block off the fan even if I put the card in the second PCI-E slot.
Hopefully I can crack 600 on the core.. :D

thanks for da tips guys.i will flash with the techpowerup bios and overclock to xt pe speed.but i will try the power colour bios suggested later.as soon as my card
gets here.anyone ever tried unlocking a HIS X800 gto ICEQ 2 Turbo.it has a monster of a cooler on it plus a r480 core.This card over clocked excellently on the test i saw but no mention was made about the chances of it unlocking to 16 pipes.
just grabbed my Connect3D GTO today and compared to the 6600GT this is a huge improvement to my current 3D bench-scores.
totally on stock with 100MHZ less CPU speed and a somehow damaged driver (some errors at the moment - can't go to driver settings) 01/03/05 new personal best with 25960/10560/47XX...16pipes mod successfully, I wait for the results...it is currently running...but the improvements regarding FPS seems very goood :D

ahhhh finally: 3DMark 03 - 11543 :woot: and on only 3100MHZ 16pipes, stock clocks without driver optimizing - great card!

Here is my power regulator cooling.. Came from a thermaltake volcano 11.
I attached it with a mixture of Arctic Lumiere and silicone sealer.
I also sanded down the power regulators to get a better contact patch and to flatten them out so that the contact patch was as large as possible.

i got a problem here... I cant tell what core m C3D GTO is... it doesnt say R420 or R423 on the core.. so im a bit baffled.. ATI tool says 423 but from what ive read, doesnt mean anything.
here is a picture.
any help would be greatly appreciated. btw i would just flash it but my comp is down right now while im getting a new cpu.

that's the r423. for some reason, ATI decided not to print "r423" on the core. it's like that for all r423 cores.

I need help choosing which card to keep, here's what I've got:
Sapphire X800GTO2 - modded to 16pp and o/c to 500/600 - 3DMark05: 6200
Connect3D X800GTO (card 1) - modded to 16pp and o/c to 570/570 - 3DMark05: 6520
Connect3D X800GTO (card 2) - modded to 16pp and o/c to 580/555 - 3DMark05: 6590
I seem to have got a real duffer of a GTO2 which is a shame. My instincts tell me to keep the card with the highest clocked core which would be the 2nd C3D GTO which also scored highest in 3DMark05, however the mem is lower than the GTO2 and first GTO. Is there any benefit in keepin the GTO2 with it's R480 core and 1.6ns mem even though it clocks lower and scores less? Which card would you keep?

i already have a 120 mm propped up blowing over the whole side of the card , including the power regulators.
thinking it may be cause ive moved house and my pc is no longer below the window , and ambient temps is a bit higher. was quite cold out today around 5 - 6 c so hopefully its like that tomorow and ill open the windows and see if it goes back up , then do some runs with my opteron 146 when it arrives

yep kohan.. whats ur max score with ur new cpu man?
I think I will vmod it soon and see what I can max out at. I'm hoping I can hit 7800, maybe 8K if im really lucky.. Main think I need to work on is getting the ram mhz up.
Well I got 7581 this time in 3dmark. I had to get a fake liscence key for 3dmark as it would keep crashing in the loading of the cpu test (cpu is totaly stable), and thus I cannot submit the results. Please note that I do NOT support any form of piracy and if you wish to use the full features of 3dmark 05 or any of the other 3dmarks you should purchase a legitimate key.

Nice score :toast:
Did you tweak the ram timing? You shall get better result. ;)
Too much overclocking to the VPU will crash in CPU test too. :)
PS: Just press "ESC" after the first 3 tests completed if you just want the total score.

ya.. ive noticed that it locks up when i push the gpu too far... I did the voltmod and it got me some more mhz but im still trying to figure out where it is stable.. i believe around 640mhz at the current volts..
Sadly the mounting plate on the maze4 covers up the voltage check point on the X800 so i need to make a new voltage checkpoint (solder wire to the checkpoint and route wire to molex connector.
No i didnt tweak the ram.. the ram seems to be a bit weak. The ram is only totaly artifact free in all games and progs at 570.. but it will 3dmark just fine without artifacts at 600.
i tried to press esc like i usualy do after the 3rd test but it was a no go..
anyway, hopefully I will be posting a 8000 score tonight after i pus the vcore to 1.6v

I tweaked the ram timings and it did the same highest ram clock as untweaked, the artifacts I got is almost the same :D , but the marks boost up from 76xx to 78xx.

well as of now I got my core to max out at 665 with watercooling and 1.6V.
something to note. from windows to full max load the vgpu drops around 0.005 volts. from no output (changing resolutions) to max load the vgpu changes 0.01 volts. I know this isnt really useful info, but for anyone who gives a hoot, here it is.
also i noticed that I am getting load temps of a shockingly high 48C!!! on my old X800Xt at 1.7volts and 655 core it would never go above 38 under max load.. very very wierd. i dont think this core is running that much hotter, but its possible. my old one was R420 (agp) and this one is R423 (pcie).. changing to PCIE must have really done something to the core. OR the temp sensor is just off its meds.

I agree, you have a great score for such low clocks. (No offence)
My clocks is in my signature, and as you can see i only
score about 7600 points in 3D2005.
My card is fully V-modded.
What drivers do you use?
Any other tweaks?

no tweaks at all.
5.11 drivers. WHLQ but not FM approved yet.. should be a little while before they are approved.
im shocked I have a better score than you do considering ur at higher clocks. I am going to shoot for 8000 points now as I can run at 665/600 with the mem timmings tweaked.
I am also going to vmod the memory to see if I cannt get some more mhz out of it.
