Anyway, it's a non-VIVO so I can't soft mod. I know you can hard mod "some" of these cards. Does anyone have a link?

I was able to overclock the core from 475 to 545 stable and the samsung 2.0ns memory from 450 to 550 stable..... Now if I could only unlock those 4 extra pipes!

I wouldn't worry about it- that card performs very well at stock speed with 12 pipes, you got a good deal.

Guh? Stock for an X800Pro is 475/450. 545/550 is -- wait, let me check -- yep, higher. It's also higher than the RAM's specced 2.0ns speeds.

Less crack for you.

lol i misread it doh!

Davidos,

How big of a performance boost are you getting in games with that overclock? I just got an X800Pro (non VIVO) this week myself and haven't attempted to overclock it yet. Still trying to get the most out of EQII...I think I'm going to have to overclock it and see if I can flip on a few more options...

 

[James3shin]

jeebus, thats a might large OC davidos, nice deal on the x800.

I got my x800 pro BBA in july and it overclocks to 585/575 stock but artifacts, 580/560 has no artifacts. Stock cooling.

I got about 10 more fps in benchies.... i.e., where it was 60 it's now 70. So I am happy about that.

OnEMoReTrY - that's quite an overclock! You got a nice card!

Anyone tried the Arctic Cooling Silencer 4 for these?

 

[DragonFire]

Got mine running at 567/567 with no artifacts.

Anyone with a non VIVO X800 Pro, does your card want you to install WDM drivers for the Rage Theater chip that is not present? My Gigabyte X800 Pro does and it is annoying me. If your card does not, would anyone care to use ATI Tool and do a BIOS dump for me so I can use your BIOS? I have been looking for a Gigabyte BIOS update but none can be found. And I believe that this card is physically just like the BBA so I should be ok to use a BBA BIOS.

Thanks in advance.

Davidos, what app did you use for your major oc?

Used the "atitool" to test my limits and Rivatuner to overclock.

How did I misread something he typed wrong???

"from 475 to 545 stable and the samsung 2.0ns memory from 450 to 550 stable"

where does it say 575???

You'd probably have better luck starting your own thread on the issue.

Ah, but then it didn't say snozzberry anywhere either now did it?

Seriously, you are clearly confused as neither Matthias99 or I said have said anything about 575 in this thread.

I did. Got very little help. Matter of fact, I even asked over at Rage3D but as usual they were of absolutely no help.

 

[Zebo]

Unlock the card. With that OC you have no problem making a full XTPE.

 

[ProppaT]

Zebo:
I'm sure he'd be happy to unlock the extra 4 pipes if he had a VIVO . Unfortunantely, he's stuck in the same boat as all us other current X800Pro purchasers....the new cards can't be unlocked, at least yet...

Seems to be some kinda bios/driver lockout even after you connect the laser cut...

With such an ambigious title it seems you are just looking for a lack of help to complain about.

It was titled differently when I first posted it. I changed it last night hoping to lure in some help. Seems no one cares to help me out.

Thanks for your help. :roll:
