It seems from what I have gathered skimming over these post that the Gecubes are clocking really nicely, PwrClr is meadiocore, and that the Saphires are not all that great clockers? If I am wrong please let me know as Im going to purchase really soon!
Would you take the powercolor over a saphire vivo?

Btw, I sent you a PM at Amdmb, but for the benefit of everyone, did you see an overclocking improvement by going back to the Pro bios? I'm still using the Ati XT-PE bios right now.
PC ICE, Which card is it?
Another question - I wanna get GigaByte's X800P VIVO, is it moddable to XT? how it clocks? Thanks for the answers. :)
btw is there a utility to backup the original bios file ?
atitool will back-up your original bios. Under settings, misc, there is an option to dump bios. That will give you a back-up of whatever bios your on.
Hey all just got it a blue pcb Sapphire vivo for a customer build. I checked it out with atitool and stock it came 16 piplines but with pro clocks. :D
ive got a spahhire x800pro vivo too w/ blue pcb and just 12 pipes... so I flashed the gigabyte bios; now its showing X800XT PLATINUM EDITION but ATiTool is still showing 12 pipes... :x and directly after I flashed it (not knowing it still had 12 pipes), I tried flashrom w/ the x800provivo bios... but its just giving me this "help" screen with all the commands no matter what I typ..
help? :rolleyes:
NEVERMIND now 5 mins later it shows 16 active pipelines :D Ole!!
If I get a Sapphire x800 pro vivo as of 8/6/04, what are my chances that it will work? A lot less than a month ago? Two?
I dunno, but it's worth the try... the card is darn fast anyway: I got 10k with 3dm03pro right after I installed it, everything stock. Now Im getting around 12k :) I ordered the 3200xlpro memory so when I finally can get rid of this 333 sh*t, Ill get even higher, especially 3dm01.
cheers,
lol have u got ur 333 to run at 400? and if so, what timings.
no its running 333mhz so it isnt even sync.. I put them on autotimings 2.5-3-3-7.. I dont really care tho.. new ram will arrive anytime now..
As of right now, it looks like the Gigabyte x800Pros w/ViVo are turning out to have the highest success rate. It also seems to me after reading through several threads that a lot of the Gigabyte x800Pro cards arrive with 16 pipes enabled out of the box.
I was just reading all this, MY HEAD HURTS!!!
OK as far as I know. VIVO cards can be modded. the reason that card is unstable is that a diode IS locking out the voltages that are needed.
Some people say hard mod is not needed (which its not if your limiting the speeds) Guess no one wants that! :) so two mods are required.
1> Bios
2> Pins in upper right side (left side contact)
3> voltage modulator.
well make it 3 then..
The voltage modulator isnt so clear on the images i have seen, so it a "AYOR"
try looking here http://www.digit-life.com/articles2/...800-3.html#p10 sorry about the mid dump I just kept that page for reference.
I just got the connected 3D card, It seams clear now when reading the GPU's numbers. the re are 410, 410,410,413 chips that seam to be clockable. I have a 424, so we will see if that ring true there is no laser cut on this card. Card failed to open the 16 pipe but shows as a X800 XT PE, the clock speeds are set as such, but I cannot unlock the 4 pipe,
I could see if there was a laser cut, but it didnt look like it. unless its hidden?? anyone!
