I got GTO2 yesterday (from Newegg) and it unlocked easily with bios flash. The included Sapphire TRIXX utility detected 511/563 on the medium "performance" mode and I've completed multiple stable runs of 3D03/05, VST at 520/560 with no visible problems, but ATITool's artifact scan gets hits every second or so, even at stock speeds (I'm not sure what that's about).

anyone who got theirs allready are a bunch of lucky bastards, newegg raised the price to 300, so its no longer the stellar deal it once was.

just onlocked my gto2 to 16 full pipes and its now clocked at 564/630. imma go do an 05 run now and hope for 7k edit 6600 on stock cooler, no ac5, just 300 points below my 7800gt that died from heat exahaustion. these things are great

**NickS** · 10-07-2005, 06:45 PM

I think alll the GTO's with the PCI-Express power connector's are R480.

Can someone share the BIOS they're using? I wanna do this to my card, look @ my sig.

I wonder how risky this is, I'd flip

if I killed a brand new card.

Is there any safer way, ie. Software Modding like nVidia card's and RivaTuner? I could have swore there was..

**einCe** · 10-07-2005, 07:27 PM

heres the unlocked gto bios http://www.techpowerup.com/articles/....Samsung16.bin

**NickS** · 10-07-2005, 07:46 PM

Thanks

:S

**Supertim0r** · 10-07-2005, 08:04 PM

I'll try a X850XT PE bios when I'll know how my card OC

**NickS** · 10-07-2005, 08:06 PM

Lol, aight.

I'm just not comfortable w/BIOS flashing, that's all.

**einCe** · 10-07-2005, 08:09 PM

follow thisw guide http://www.techpowerup.com/articles/.../vidcard/127/2
i had never done a flash before and it was easy after reading this

**WesM63** · 10-07-2005, 08:12 PM

Nick,
Look here, it tells you exactly what to look for in ATItool to tell if your card is unlockable or not. The GTO's don't have quite as high of a success rate as the GTO2's do.

Edit: einCe types faster than I do.

**NickS** · 10-07-2005, 08:16 PM

Lol, thnx guy's.

I know how to flash BIOS'. I modded my old 6800's BIOS to give me 1.4v vCore. I only kept it that way temporarily to see what I cld squeeze out of it but, I'm not a total nub

.

Hehe. Anyway, I'll read over that guide a few times. Thnx for the linkage. I've never flashed an ATi card before, but I've modded 2 BIOS' (one modding by HEX, another with NiBitor) and flashed for nVidia's.

**WesM63** · 10-07-2005, 08:32 PM

Sorry, didn't want to sound like you where a n00b, but just that your card might not be moddable. The SS of ATI tool tells you what to look for is all I was getting at.

**NickS** · 10-07-2005, 08:59 PM

Lol, no problem. That's why I had the winky face.

**aMp** · 10-07-2005, 09:50 PM

OK, I'm going out of my goddamn mind here. Got my GTO2, and it works stock, but....

I've flashed mainboard BIOSes, created boot disks out the wazoo, and slipstreamed SP2 into a WinXP install...but now I can't create a functional

ing (yes, it's worth the bananas I'm so pissed) bootable CD containing the FlashROM utility. And needless to say, I'm one of the geniuses who said "bah, who needs a floppy these days?"

Using Nero 6 Ultimate's bootable CD dialog, I end up with a bootable CD that freezes my system and says this:

EMM386: Warning! Address line A20 already enabled.

I've googled that, and now I'm more confused than ever. Apparently in the BIOS there should be an A20 or Turbo Switch option to enable/disable -- but not in the DFI 704-2BT there isn't, at least not that I can find.

So next I tried creating a boot disk according to this guy's method, and ended up with a CD that says something along the lines of "ROOT FAT GO!" and promptly freezes. (I'm not kidding. It really says that. Even the exclamation point.)

So obviously I'm retarded, or maybe I just need to do this stuff sometime when I've slept in the last 36 hours.

Any advice before I take a crowbar to my rig?

-aMp-

p.s. Results to follow.

**einCe** · 10-07-2005, 11:47 PM

thats why i dug my old floppy out of the dresser, its got no casing and half a button lol

**dqniel** · 10-08-2005, 12:37 AM
