There is a bios flash you can find to unlock the 4 pipelines. also i am sure u know u have to have a vivo to unlock them. also you need to find out the ram or sumthing i heard 1.6ms or sumthing on the ram let me find you some stuff in a sec

This bios flash is from a agp card. I have a pcie card have this card locked pipes?
"The modified flashrom has been updated on Jan 03 2005 to support both AGP and PCI-Express X800 Pro VIVO cards. The mod is the same, just get a X800 XT PE PCI-E BIOS when flashing a PCI-E card."

Hello,
yes I´m looking for a mod for the r430 on pcie NOT agp.
Are there by the R430 16 Pipes?
Becaus the x800xl has 16 pipes, has the x800xl a r430 core? When the x800 has 4 disable pipelines, can i make a biosflash or has this card a lasercut?
right the x800XL 16 pipes and left the x800 12 pipes

A new bios don´t unlocked the other 4 pipelines. :(
please help :(
Sorry for the following lines in german language ;)
Riverna, der Mod klappt bei deiner Karte nicht.
Der von woot verlinkte Bios Mod ist NUR für X800 Vivo Karten um sie zu einer X800 XT zu machen. Zwar für AGP und PCIe aber NICHT für Karten mit R430 Kern. Da gibt es ein paar kleine aber feine Unterschiede.
Riverna is searching a mod / bios to upgrade his X800 12 pipe PCIe card to a 16 pipe X800 XL card.
So you've already tried flashing ur card with PCIE Gigabyte X800XL bios ?
If you have and it doesnt work, then u need to find out which x800xl has the same Memory Manufacturer and Speed as yours. For exp, if yours has hynix 2.0, then u need for find x800xl bios for one that uses hynix 2.0.
You should appreciate your card though, I remember back when I used to search the internet when someone wanted to flash their 9600 to a pro or something and we were dealing with 4.0 and 5.0ns ram o_0 So try seeing how far it OCs and post ur benches at the 3dmark XS section. IF you do you will be the first with an X800 Standard to do so and I for one will applaud any such attempt.
Secondly, ATI has confirmed that all PCIE X700, X800, X800XL, and X850 cards will be Multi-VPU capable so somewhere down the road u can get another one for a good price and have a 24-pipe, 512MB monster ;)
Perkam
how about a X850XT 512 mb version
then it will be a 32-pipe 1024MB Gaint Monster LOL
just kidding, but it's for real.
The bios which I have flashed was from the sapphire x800xl with samsung 2.0ns. The same rams has my gigabyte card.Quote:

R430 cores are only going onto x800XL's and they are all 16 pipe.Quote:

No, you have wrong. Look at the bottum of this page, and you'll see that the x800 has got a R430-core... :)Quote:

anybody have powercolor x800xl bios whit 1.6ns ram
So, let's clear this up: to flash a 12 pipe X800 to an X800XL you don't NEED to have a VIVO model? You just need to find a BIOS that has the right kind of RAM and everything, right?
I'm VERY interested in seeing this in action, because I've been considering saving a bit of money and buying an X800 instead of an X800XL. Please keep this thread going, as it will help a lot of people! :toast:
great budget card mod if it's results are predictable.

Lock at the #9 posting. The x800 and the x800xl has the r430 core.
@mcnbns
no a bios flash dont work. I have flash a sapphire bios with the same rams (samsung 2.0ns) on my gigabyte, and the other 4 pipes allways still locked.
Perhaps are the other pipes dont locked seperate dont available.
Do not count on that to be the case all the time. An x800 PCIe is not a reference model. They are likely to have whatever the builder decides to put on it similar to SE models for the Asia market that make there way to US shores.Quote:
