Any GTO/GTO2 > 16 pipelines results yet?

**WesM63** · 10-12-2005, 09:19 AM

520/540 is xt IIRC

Good work KITT. I had mine at 570/600 last night

**TEDY** · 10-12-2005, 09:43 AM

friend saying he got 620/640 wihtout artifatcs...

**K.I.T.T.** · 10-12-2005, 10:34 AM

This is the best I could do

3D Mark 2005 - 6669

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=1312950

Finding it really hard to push it an more. Im keeping my 24/7 clocks at 579/615 MHz. Really wanted 600 MHz on the core

.

Still, can't complain - only cost Â£150

Ah well, maybe it will go further on better cooling......

**Jupiler** · 10-12-2005, 11:05 AM

Read a topic on a German forum today where 6-7 guys succesfully flashed their Connect3D X800GTO cards to X800XT.
Yesterday, I saw that same card laying on the shelf of the store I buy most of my stuff.
Quickly called them and asked if they still had it (it was the only one).
Was still there. Drove to the store after work and picked it up.
The manager was very interessted to see if the card would unlock (so he could get himself one

)

The card looked exactly the same as my regular X800XT. After preparing the necesary files for flashing, I went ahead.
Card successfully flashed at X800XT, 16p. Recognized as R423 by ATI Tool.

Made a quick 3D05 run to check the performance.
Scored 6433 marks on a non tweaked system, card slightly oc'ed at 520/540.

Will test more tomorrow to see how far it will go.
One of my better buys this year.

Look what arrived for me today!

Hehe, installing XP Pro ATM. Results later.

**aMp** · 10-12-2005, 12:51 PM

The PCI-E power connector is a good sign, probably don't have a 110nm core.

Highest I've benched is just a few points shy of 7K. With another notch and a boost on the CPU I could make it; wondering if it's worth the trouble for the right to say I got 7K 2005 from a $199 card?

lol I'd say its worth it. Thats what I'm shooting for, but i doubt my crappy winchester will do it.

**Damien** · 10-12-2005, 01:51 PM

Good sign that all these connect3d gto's are flashing. Mine comes from newegg tomorrow. Pics and results will be posted

**dqniel** · 10-12-2005, 02:01 PM

i should be getting my x800gto2 some time early next week. i'll post results after i finish building my pci-e system (i'm on pentium m right now so my x800gto2 will be useless for a while)

**eviLRuLeZ** · 10-12-2005, 02:05 PM

I should get mine on friday.
I will test it with my venice at 2800 mhz and more probably..

I will post some results for sure

**Damien** · 10-12-2005, 02:23 PM

I just noticed you said x800xt Jupiler...as in they can't be flashed to x850xt or did you mean x850xt?

**NickS** · 10-12-2005, 02:39 PM

OMFG. Flashed my card like it says on Techpowerup--my results...

w0000000t

Burnin in my new venice atm. stock 2ghz (3200+) runnin p95, 1.17v :p E6

(those cpuz shots dont show me burning in)

**einCe** · 10-12-2005, 02:53 PM

if you got 1.6ns ram apply the memory tweaks in this forum helps alot

btw is that 72c core? wow highest i get inder load was 61 with the stock hs and i got 6950 in 05 yesterday, im so pissed lol

Nope, I meant the X800XT, like said before.
I followed the guide from a german forum, used the Powercolor X800XT bios to flash it.

When I made the call, I asked if he could take the cooler off, which he did.
The card looks exactly the same as my BBA X800XT, no R480 on the GPU but X800, like my original one and the one posted on hexus.

It was my understanding that the gto could have a couple different cores meaning that it has the potential to become either an x800xt or x850xt, but the gto2 is garunteed to be an x850xt because they all have r480 cores, but I might be mistaken.

These are some sweet results, my gto2 should be here tomorrow or monday...just need an opteron and motherboard...it will be a very pretty paper weight for a few weeks

**Damien** · 10-12-2005, 09:11 PM

Hmmm oh well, an x800xt is still better than an x800pro...at least I hope it will be, my x800pro was mighty fine.

. If it wont unlock I'm pretty much going to kill myself.

Jupiler, will you PM me the exact directions it says for Connect3D x800GTO's? I like specific details and knowing exactly what to do when it comes to stuff like this. Including bios and whatnot. Thanks!

**Jupiler** · 10-12-2005, 09:49 PM

PM send.

how do you check for 1.6 and where's that memory tweaks?

Thank you very much for tht informative post, ive been waiting for someone over here to verify tht some of these Connect3D cards work as well for pipe-unlocking! Its good to see you are from Europe also as we tend to share the components from similar batches. A good chance of UK stock being like the one you got from Belgium

As for the X800XT or X850XT is their any real differences to the max ovrclk we will see. From wht I remember the max ovrclks of both cores are very similar correct? With either core, we should be hoping for nice silicon, being the most important factor

Hey NickS is it possible you could check your core?? I would like to know wht your core says on it. I think this is very importnat information for XS members, i tell you why. Some of the reports of Connect3D GTO not working have been put down to the core type. Well we know tht Jupiler core does not have R480 on it but X800 and it works, now if your card has R480 on it and it works we will have two XS members reporting successful unlocking of both cores on Connect3D GTO cards

Congrats on all members who have this card, time to put X800XL for sale!!!

**Jupiler** · 10-13-2005, 01:43 AM

Here's a pic from both cores (BBA X800XT vs Connect3D X800GTO), so you can see they're both X800.

Is there much depth to the etching on that core in the first one?? That doesn't look too good....anyway, good to see the GTO using the same core as the X800XT.

**Jupiler** · 10-13-2005, 03:43 AM

Don't really understand what you're trying to say Eric.

**Vapor** · 10-13-2005, 03:45 AM

Sorry about that....haven't slept in awhile

In the first image....it looks like the words/logo have a decent amount of depth, do they? Almost like it was tool etched rather than laser etched...

Anyway, it's OT and not pertinent, it just caught my eye.

EDIT: upon further inspection, those cores aren't the same....the GTO's is wider, meaning that, while it does say X800 like the XT does, it doesn't mean it'll have 16 working pipes and it's just as random as it was before

**Ozan Baseski** · 10-13-2005, 04:25 AM

Hello everybody
From all this conversation I realized that all of the Sapphire GTO2's would have a 100% chance of success for getting to 16 pipelines. I have a 256 mb Sapphire X800GTO Fireblade Edition Pci-ex. card on my computer clocked just as 400/980 with 12 pipelines active by default just like the gto2's. When I checked with atitool it says that I have R480 core gpu. However I read the article on techpowerup for the modding process and I don't have those F's as stated over there. Do I also have a chance of softmodding this card? If I flashed a 256mb Sapphire X850XT bios, would I damage the card or would it work? Maybe some hardmodding required but I must know if those 4 pipelines work well in order to hardmod the gpu. So I appreciate if you could help me solving this issue. Thank you
