Nope. Tried that already. I had no difference in ocing performance. Initially i was on a akasa adater with 6 wires and connetors to 2 molexes. Now im on the adaptor that came with the card as it makes my case tidy :DQuote:

Nooooo. He's talking about the 6 pin pci-e connector that you plug into the socket at the top right corner of the card. If your PSU doesnt have such a connector, you need to use a 4 pin molex to 6 pin PCI-e adaptor like supplied with the card. But that adaptor only connects to one molex (3 wires) He was asking if an adaptor that connects to 2 molex connectors with5 wires would be more stable. Ill try to get a picture.....
(I think thats what he was asking...lol. Im not sure lol)
Hm darn, I was hoping I had a 600+ core card sitting in my hands but not enough juice! :P
I guess volt modding is always an option.
Does anyone actually know how to volt mod these cards? AFAIK Its tricky to do so with a pencil, but is possible. I really dont want to solder anything onto it... . If soldering is the only option, I wont bother because i dont think its worth the effort. Im at 579/615 MHz, but really want 600/615 or better :stick:Quote:

If you figure out/find a link to pencil mod these cards, LMK! It's probably VERY similar to x800pro/xt/x850xt's. I've never voltmodded but I wouldn't mind doing so if it's clean enough.
Here ya go: http://www.techpowerup.com/articles/...voltmods/112/1 :D
The PCB is EXACTLY the same, and the point where it says to measure to check the VGPU works here :). using a pencil however looks a bit dodgy :stick:
I voltmoded before. Did it to my 6600GT. using a pencil, went from 1.4 to 1.7 volts on the VGPU. Didnt help though. Just made my card run hotter, and when overclocked, artifacted like hell :D :stick:
Too bad I don't have a multimeter, otherwise i'd try it :P
jus got my card...run cool :eek:
results tonight
flashed straight @ X850XT PE bios...

Very nice.... ;)Quote:

Can you guys tell me how many points did you win when flashing to 16pp?
I got this with 12pp..

thanks :)
Maybe 1200 more points that you from what I've seen.....13066 is an excellent score with 12pp!
Ok great Vapor :)
Yes It seems to be a good score, the cpu must help a bit with 2800 mhz I think too.
I will flash It tonight.. I am going to buy an usb key this afternoon in order to flash the card.. :)
I wish I could have activated my Sapphire X800GTO Fireblade Edition card's last four pipes. I got some nice results with just 12 pipes. I flashed the modded gto2 bios with flashom, the card accepted the bios but the four pipes haven't been activated. Here are the results
Xtreme members please find me working vmod :D
New results using the Modded Connect3D BIOS from Techpowerup!. This bios is AWESOME.

hey Nick
man i am little surprised that i beat you with my cheapo X800NP card default rated 390/350 12pipes........running at 429/554....you definately need a better CPU and RAM............. http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=8754396
