Yeah I'm very concerned with BIOS choice. I have a Connect3D Coming, can I flash it with the modded Sapphire GTO2 BIOS?

Nicks, as far as I know, youll have to pull the heatsink and check to see if you got a R480 core or not, If so, I believe the mod process is the same. The thing with the Saphire is it is just a guarenteed r480 core.

no even with r480 cores some cards cant be unlocked, the only GTO non GTO2 that i heard of that can unlock is the Connect3D

I added this section, since so many people ask "can I mod my card?".

* Download and install ATITool
* Hold down the shift key and click on "settings"
* Now scroll to the bottom of the list, you should see four new values listed. (The screenshot here is from an X850 XT PE)

Only the red marked numbers are of interest here. If you do not have F for the red numbers, your card can not be modded.

This card rocks!!

Flashed with no issues, i did have to force the flash but it works.

ATI tool shows 16active pipelines, running 3D05 now at 520/540 :D

Best $235 i've ever spent!

Screens to follow....

EDIT:
Here are the screens, i'm just going to link them cause they are fairly large (1600x1200). Both ss, where done at 520/540. I'm going to try 540/590 then head to bed. More tomorrow.

Last one for tonight:
http://www.needmoreboost.com/wes/x800pe23.jpg

I tried 600/600 and did a 3D01 nature run, it was about to finish then crashed with a vpu recover. So i'm sure it'll do somewhere between 540-600 ;)

Eince,
Similar temps here.

600/600 is what I am going to shoot for with my gto2. :stick: Using the stock cooling or something else Wes?

i got JUST under 7k in 3dmark with 564/600 with the x800 mem timings in this forum. i envy those who can go up to and past 570, could it be that i have a bad clocker?

*edit* noticed i put the wrong core speed haha

Hey don't dog Ohio lol! Any ways I thought that only the PCI-X ones are the only ones that can be unlocked. Or am I wrong? :confused:

K.I.T.T.

what drivers are you using? ati catalyst 5.9? is this the control panel version or control centre one? also, is ati tool a seperate program? just installed mine, and need to download drivers.

KITT,
I do not really know what drivers, whatever came on the sapphire disc (i'm on dial up). ATI tool is a seperate program that you can get here :
