Bios: Asus ax800Pro Vivo 16p
Successful: Yes
With stock cooler i couldn't bench 3D03 it just froze at 510mhz gpu, but i replaced it with old VGA Silencer (older one all aluminum) and im able to bench over 520mhz now, now it freezes over 530mhz, but i don't get any artifats, the card just freezes within few seconds in 3D
edit: my default vgpu is 1.43v
Asus X800 Pro Vivo to Connect3D XT bios
success at 16 pipes and can OC to 535/575
helped get my 3dmark2001 score below :)
gocchin are you using 1600x1200 @ 85hz by any chance, i started using my pc at that resolution with the ax800 and 2d quality is so horible that i almost can't use it my 9800pro has much better 2D quality at that resolution. 1240x1024 is fine though but anything at and above 1600x1200 is bad. In text docs letters even are in green and brown not black. Anyone else have this prob with the x800 ?
My BBA in sig causes no issues. Desktop res is 2048x1536 @ 60 Hz.
GIGABYTE ATI X800 vivo flashed fine but the core speed maxes out about 20 mhz less than my ATI X800pro did.
Memory speed increased from 587-594 to 614mhz vs the X800pro card I replaced.
4 more pipes sure helps even at lower core speeds.
Oh it does, I don't have a link for benches, but I've heard experiences on HardOCP and it really does help, even with lower speeds.
First post, so excuse my ignorance. I have an ATI hardmodded x800pro. I am aware that it just takes a flash with the vivo's. I have however done the hard mod . Here's my problem or connundrum. After I flash my card to either an XT or 16pipe vivo, and run ATI tool, I show 16 pipes enabled. From everything I have read, when ATI tool shows 16 pipes enabled, they are enabled..correct me if I am wrong please. Now after this, when I reinstall the drivers , it automatically reverts back to only 12 enabled pipes showing in ATI tool. Surely there must be a step or a lock that i am missing here. If anyone has an idea , please let me know. I bought this before i realized the Vivo thing, but i feel like i am very close . I am not sure if it has something to do with ASIC ID( that's why I tried 16pipe vivo Pro flash also), or is there sometype of lock on the driver, or do I need a specific modified forced driver install different than what is on the catalysts?? Please help..I really want to get this done as I have a great card , I can run 550+ on memory and core with no artifacting , so I really would love to utilize those extra pipes. I hit 12500 on 3dmark03 with current rig, so looking for that little bit xtra.
ATI X800pro VIVO went to XT PE for me no problems. Worked like a champ.. To bad i traded it away.
XT BIOS Flash on a retail non-VIVO X800 Pro succesfull...
1.6ns memory (Purchased at CompUSA like FUGGERs non-VIVO was)
this would be the first non vivo that i have heard of working with just flash by itself but wouldnt surprise me...did you have any issues installing drivers? see above post pleaseQuote:

probably correct, how would I know if this has VIVO capabilities? (Rage theater chip?)
No driver issues btw... before and after driver upgrade = 16 pipes
Look for the yellow plug on the back. The ones sold at CompUSA for the first week or two came with 16 pipes enabled, they were boxed wrong :p:
heh, i'm an idiot, it does have the yellow connector :) doi, a successful flash nonetheless :p:
haha thats awesome gator. how much did u pay for it?
I have a Saphire x800 Pro VIVO on the way... I'll drop in and let you know how it goes.
Sapphire X800Pro VIVO with GC16 Ram FAILED.
Got checkerboard artifacts whenever anything 3d is happening, not too bad in games but ATi Tool scan is pretty ugly.
Flashed empty.bin and back to Sapphire X800Pro VIVO, ie 12 pipes again, but still no good.
Any ideas?
You sure you flashed it right?
FAILED! :lol:Quote:

I was disappointed to see that the memory would only do 480 :(
Anyway... when I tried to Flash it to an XT I would get artifats no matter what clocks I tried to run... I put them at and below the stock x800 Pro speeds and it kept giving me a Checkerboard pattern of groups of dots...
I tried several different BIOS but none would work. So I assume it has bad pipelines...
Has anyone had any luck fixing bad pipes?
Asus X800Pro ViVo @ XT PE 520/560 no mod :D
sapphire x800pro vivo: blue pcb
mod: worked
methode: modified flashrom to x800xt pe
The thing is: after extensive playing for a few hours I get artifacts at stock xt pe speeds.
I'm gonna try voltmodding it next week. Will let you guys know how it turns out.
Success
Sapphire X800 Pro Vivo 1.6ns -> XT PE ATI BIOS (voltmod).
Before the voltmod I used the Sapphire XT BIOS 500/500, could only get around 509 MHz core. After voltmod I can go about 535 before artifacts. Will be getting an ATI arctic silencer later.
1 question: I'm using the latest Omega drivers, and I have 2 unknown devices show up when I start Windows. What are these? Something to do with VIVO?
Yes.
You might be able to get more! My AX800Pro Vivo (TVD) got 535/575 with no mods ;)Quote:
