Small update for those wanting to see someone get stupid and flash their XL with an XT bios. I did it tonight. I posted the results here:

In summary - I got there and made it back in one peice. Luckily - although if the 800 memory speed is based on loosened timings, the PE bios might work.
Ouch glad you got it back working.... As for loosened timings ya the PE bios might work if you can get the core that high expecially with that voltage that its pumping (what 1.45V some reports?). But having the memory with loosened timings at that speed has you loose preformance instead of gaining it.

Also gets me wondering if the XT bios's are really even good for the XL if it can run those speeds. Since they have a 2D and 3D clock and possibley a voltage change between the 2 settings. The XL doesn't that I can tell its just 1 voltage/clock.


Oh tried a game I havn't played in a little while Nexus: The Jupiter Incident. Man I remember running at around 40-100 FPS on a 1280x1024 screen and i think with everything turned on. My new monitor rulez lol, run at 1920x1200 and the lowest I've seen it get is mid 70's with averages in the 100's. Damn love this card. This is with the card at 600/700 (1.175/2.154/2.004V) With 615/720 I was mid to upper 80's but unstable. Guess my core was causing issues at that voltage, but did play for 3 hours (1 hour too long lol forgot the time) without an issue. But what ever ti was it picked up the error pretty quickly and crashed the game (under 2min in 3D mode). Hmm might be my new clock tester, going to have to try ghost recon at these settings since that seemed to be picky also for some wierd reason, you know that old game lol pick about clocks and not Quake 4, FEAR, or AoE III.
