is 510/530 a good overclock for an air cooled sapphire x800 pro vivo?
Got 610core/570mem totally artifact free on my voltmodded sapphire. :banana4:
Does anybody else not have overdrive appear in the catalyst control panel after the flash to XT PE? I've never had it available, until just a minute ago when I quit out of UT2K4. Windows detected a new monitor and I was able to use the DVI connection, which I haven't been able to use since I switched from a 9700 Pro. Windows also detects the same new monitor on the first boot into windows after a new video BIOS flash, but in both instances, the DVI connection stops working after a restart. This time, after I exited UT2K4, overdrive was available for the first time as well. As usual though, I lost both overdrive and the DVI connection after a restart.
I've been trying to find a way to get these drivers to recognize the DVI connection on my card, but haven't been able to even after help from ATI and Samsung's tech support.
Anybody know wtf is happening?
Sapphire X800 Pro Vivo with Yellow and Purple Connectors.
Flashed Gigabyte Bios,Backto Sapphire Pro,now Ati X800Xt.
Card made 480/540, now pencilmodded 540/600.
Cant boot to windows though.
w00t, I finally get to vote. :D Powercolor VIVO, Gigabyte BIOS, with core markings of: 215RADCGA11F GC0027.1 0424AA Works great with stock Gigabyte settings, OCed to 544/547 before flashing. I was worried more about the RAM than the core, ATI tool froze the RAM at only 570 before the flash, and the core froze at 553. Now if it freezes, no artifacts, I should be able to pencil mod it with good results, right? Oh yeah, has Overdrive tab, and 16 pipes reported in ATI Tool. :cool:
is the XTPE BIOS better for overclocking than the PRO VIVO BIOS?
Haven't tried OCin' it yet, lol. :rolleyes: I just did a quick '01 bench, then started gaming on it. :D Had to see if it was stable. ;)
I am prob going to order this card i the next few days you think it would be a safe bet??
saphire x800pro at gameve
For some reason Gameve has issues with puttin the right pics with the product description. :rolleyes: When I ordered mine, I went by the pic, & ended up with a Pro, so had to reorder by the product description, then they sent me a VIVO, lol. So if that holds true, that SHOULD be O.K. You could kick up $20 more, and get the Powercolor VIVO, to get the games, but that one should be OK too. ;) On looking twice, the specs on that one say Video In: No, so if it were me, I'd order the Powercolor. Especially when it says exchange only.
how long ago did you order your card spaceman?
After b!tching for so long about my second X800Pro VIVO (PowerColor w/ 2ns/1.6ns ram) not being able to flash w/ the X800XT bios & enable the 4 pipelines, I finally listened to someone who told me to quit my b!tching.
I was tempted to give up on it but decided to try out the flashrom16/empty.bin & then re-flash with the X800XT bios & WTF?? It WORKED!!!
So anyone that can;t get the extra 4 pipelines using the "normal" flashrom, use the flashrom16 & empty.bin from techpowerup.
Make sure that you save your old bios first, then use flashrom16 & empty.bin to empty the bios & then flash your VC's bios straight away with the laster ATI X800XT PE bios (520/560).
WORKS WONDERS on a card that I swore was a p.o.s card....
I am a believer now....
Good to see the poll still going on.
Keep up the good work fellas.
Minh :toast:
I have 2 powercolors coming hopefully by friday I can add to the list of flashed.
I ordered right before the Labor Day weekend, so it took longer to get here. My RMA came back in 2 days after they emailed me that they recieved it. :cool: I think Gameve is a pretty good outfit, product pics aside. ;)Quote:

w00t, I finally located a pencil, lol. :D My voltage was 1.402, and would keep crashing out of benches and games (only after the BIOS flash). Turnin' down the clocks helped, so I was pretty sure it just needed more voltage. So today, I got it to 1.496v, and she runs @ 534.6/580.5 just fine. :cool: Funny thing, like was mentioned in another thread, it didn't help my 3DMark scores much, so my measly 2.4 GHz. just ain't doin' the card justice now. ;) Good thing I have a couple more chips to try out. ;) At least now, the card's PLENTY stable for benchin' & gaming. :D
Welp just got the cards and the first one was a success so we're at 1 of 2 so far.
EDIT: 2n'd card was a success:)
Got mine yesterday at CC. BBA retail X800Pro. Had 1.6NS SAmsung, rage chip, and the yelloe connector. Came home tested and flash was good. Running at XT PE speeds, but I can't get much more. Will not not do the pencil mod till i mod my artic rev 2 cooler to fit on it. but its 100% stable, 25K in 01 and 12,4xx in 03. 03 seems a bit low to me. I might try and do a format and see if that helps. Most people say they get around 1000 point jump at the same speeds when running on the X800Pro stock.
Excellent! I woulda felt like crap if you got even one bad card. ;) If you guys do the GPU volt mod, it's pretty easy, once ya find the stuff. I couldn't draw on the PCB for crap, so I just drew a line across the R1597 itself, connecting the two metal ends. :cool:Quote:

powercolor Vivo -> XT successfull ,with little overvolting 1,45v it gives me 560/580 :)

ok i have reading alot on this topic and others.
but the only thing i read is => sapphire x800, powercolor, etc.
but what i don't find is MSI x800 pro vivo
specs=>MSI X800 pro vivo 1.6 mem
215RADCGA11F, GB8837.1, 0425AA
is this because nobody has one or something else
i really wanne flash my x800 too, but with all the info i can't see the tries in the forrest anymore .
i hope i am not too rude or ...
tnx :)
Probly just noone else has an MSI card yet. As long as it's a VIVO, it should flash just fine. Good luck. :)
I agree, 99% sure it will work. Hell its working on Built by Ati cards with vivo so by all means it will work on yours.
Here a thread over at amdforums, theres a huge list there too. Maybe some has a msi there.http://forums.pcper.com/showthread.php?t=333407
