As of yet no one has unlocked one successfully. Look closely at my pics, the power circuitry is different, let me see if I have a more detailed pic of both cores.




.. ok found em here you can see the difference, the X800GT has a silver dot, and the XT has a copper dot. It's not that clear, but it's more visible without the flash.

Maybe you just need to rub the silver off carefully with acetone and flash the bios, but I won't be the first to try.

Other than that even the resistors are identical.

Unlocking extra 4 pipelines in X800GT is easy if You know what are you doing.

Almost every X800GT 128/256MB (based on R423) does 8->12 pipes.
Just look here -> X800GT 8->12 and 8->16. (it's Polish, but basically You have to connect the LASER CUT pin - seen in the attached picture - with something that condacts current). This Mod has been done by User named 'PITer' from another forums, but this linked post describes You simple 'How-TO: X800GT 8->12pipes', his 3DM scores are online on the ORB (3DM03/05).

Unfortunately there's nothin good about the R480 core. So far I haven't seen anybody that made 8->12 with X800GT on R480.

Good news is that the 16pipes is also achieveable, but as for now only one guy, as far as I know, made that - yea, PITer . Unfortunately he got 1 gpu working with 16p out of 10 he modded & flashed. But it CAN be done, after all there's ORB 3DM03 online result with that!!
