How can I recognize a VIVO card just by looking @ the card?

I think , the thing that identify the vivo cards is the yellow connector near the power connector in the back of the card .
But the experts can say ir better .
I´m too wainting for a Sapphire x800 pro Vivo :D
Hope tha has 1.6 ns rams and xt core :D :D :D
all the VIVO's has XT Core / 1.6ns doesn't they? :o
Yes, it seems that all currently available X800 Pro VIVO cards are XT-PEs. They may just be re-labeled cards to satisfy market's needs or they didn't make it through the tests (too high temp/low stability/...).
My card's 16 pipes seem to run just fine, but I can't run at XT-PE clock rates yet.
@ yahirhem it seems you are austrian, from where did you get your vivo card?
I bought my card at www.peluga.at and it took less than 24h to get it :)
And yes, I'm from Austria ;)
hi im new to this site, but i must admit that it rox......
well this said i fount that HIS EXCALIBUR made a x800 PRO card that is similar to the VIVO with the yellow conncetor on it HIS vid card
does any1 know if they sell that card for real or if it s just a fake, if YES where can i find those cards ? atm it s so hard to find PRO moddable @ XT........ty.
Flashed my saphire and it worked. Clocks sucked before though, and they still suck :( but 3dmark03 went up, so I'm pleased.
Thanks guys
which model is it and where did u buy it from?
:banana: Congrats man, yea we need more details
My card is a Saphire x800pro with VIVO. All the pro cards with VIVO are working though. I bought it in Canada a couple weeks ago from a fairly small store. What more details do you want? I made an msdos boot disk, put the bios flash/flaser utility on the disk and then typed the command line written a page or 2 back. Only problem is atm I'm getting weird icon corruption in windows, but games run perfectly.
the store name? i know that there is another thead for this, but both the sellers don t have the card now.....
I doubt they still have stock. But www.infonec.com is the site. They're about 20 minutes from my home, don't know if they ship online (doubt it...)
they say that they have it in stock.....
That gigabyte BIOS flash link is dead, does anyone have a mirror? Thanks.
Do you people think that the VIVO will clock as good as the XT?

No they are much porer overclockers than the XT. Many of the Pro Vivo's won't even work stabil at XT speeds. I got a couple of friends that have bought Pro Vivo cards, and they won't go past 500 Core.Quote:

Mine does exactly 520Mhz(1.3V). The Ram only goes to 561Mhz. :( Does the XT have higher ram voltage or are mine just crappy?
personally i d be happy to make them work a little slower but with all the 16 pipes and many $$$ in my pocket left......
woah these X800Pro VIVOs run quite hot from what i read, my Gecube X800Pro with stock heatsink was 36C idle and 66C load at 564/605
now i changed to Thermaltake Giant3 + 60x38mm delta 50cfm 8800rpm fan and get 26C idle and 42-46C load at 615/605

:cool:
Got a Problem with the gigabyte flash ulity. Everytime i want to flash the new bios, the ulity says "This is a ATI VGA Card" and doesn't flash the bios!
Thank for your help
Partly success here.
I modded 2 GeCube X800 Pro VIVO cards with 1.6 Samsungs.
1 with 100% success, the other one partly:
Card bios upgraded succesfully to 16 pipes, but with artifacts as soon as 3D-action is involved.
Flashed back to 12 pipes and the artifacts was still there, so it looks like it was fubared from the beginning.
The artifacts doesn't look like it is OC related. I tried lowering to 300/300 with the same problems.
I have attached a pic of the artifacts and a pic of the core.
.
yea, HELP! i'm having the same problem!!Quote:
