Any GTO/GTO2 > 16 pipelines results yet?

**NickS** · 10-10-2005, 03:43 PM

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

**Ostate21** · 10-10-2005, 03:46 PM

Man if I only had a PCI-X board I would order one of these! Damn AGP lol.

**LexDiamonds** · 10-10-2005, 03:50 PM

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.

**Millyons** · 10-10-2005, 03:55 PM

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.

Hopefully i'll have some results soon. I'm working with afireinside right now to see if i can get my cpu to overclock. (never played with the DFI or the TCCD I have)

**LexDiamonds** · 10-10-2005, 07:00 PM

Still working on it, the 6600gt is still in while i play with CPU. Finally got things ironed out with that.. getting ready to flash now.

**Supertim0r** · 10-10-2005, 07:23 PM

x800 gto2 card run cool ?

**WesM63** · 10-10-2005, 08:40 PM

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

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.

**einCe** · 10-10-2005, 09:36 PM

comparing to my experience youll hit 540/590 no problem, my if i clock up to 570 core though my system hangs so lets see what you get

x800 gto2 card run cool ?

i idle 34c and 55c under load with some ac5 on it

**WesM63** · 10-10-2005, 09:39 PM

hehe.. this is fun

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.

**LexDiamonds** · 10-10-2005, 09:44 PM

600/600 is what I am going to shoot for with my gto2.

Using the stock cooling or something else Wes?

**TinTin** · 10-10-2005, 09:58 PM

around 40deg.C idle, and about 60deg. C full load (rm temp: 28deg.C, naked case), all are stock

I feel some warm air spreads out

Yes, stock cooling for now.

**einCe** · 10-10-2005, 11:29 PM

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

**NickS** · 10-11-2005, 02:43 AM

Awe, NT einCe. My goal is at least 4500 in 2005

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?

**TEDY** · 10-11-2005, 06:13 AM

I might get it tomorrow or friday...wes63: can you tell me exactly how did you flashed it.....in PM please

**WesM63** · 10-11-2005, 07:30 AM

Tedy,
YGPM.

I'm going to start playing more here soon

I want 7k 3d05

**K.I.T.T.** · 10-12-2005, 07:26 AM

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.

**WesM63** · 10-12-2005, 07:58 AM

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 :
http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=725

Good Luck.

**TEDY** · 10-12-2005, 08:56 AM

Default clock is 400/980 right ?

and for X850XT is 500/540 ?

**K.I.T.T.** · 10-12-2005, 09:00 AM

Mine has unlocked sucessfully, and is so far happy at 575/600

Get 6555 3dmarks in 3d mark 2005

I'm not finished yet, this thing has more in it.

*Heads off to OC some more
