Just interested to know benchmarks with this card modded to X850XTPE. Will post results soon.(Mine should arrive today).
Re: Re: X800gto2 Benchmarks. Since we talking same core and (hopefully) same speeds, yes, that would be about right But please post your results. I'm intrested in one of those too. Just short on 'time'
Finally recieved my X800GTO2 from new egg today. Performed the Bios flash(My First) and whadda ya know........All 16 pipes.... unlocked. Too late and tired to test out.Will post results soon. SWEEEEEET!!!!!
Ya i will get mine today to. ordered the sapphire x800gto fireblade wich i believe is the gto2 version?? cause it has the dual slo cooling the x850xt has and the same 1.6ns memory hope i ordered the right 1
RedAim- your Sapphire Gto Fireblade X800 WON'T mod to unlocked extra 4 pipes. Just the GTO2 SAPPHIRE LIMITED EDITION. Check prior posts as was as article on tech power up- links are posted several places here. Sorry Dude.
Where are these results then? Where does the card top out in terms of attainable frequency? Are you running with a dynamic fan or forced @ 100% ?
Been playing around with settings somewhat and so far got to 550 core/ 590 memory with Zalman fan. Fan @67%. Played HL2 with high setting for about an hour.....no suttering or artifacts. Still haven't reached max core/memory yet. So far ...so good. Will run benchmarks and post later tonite. Awesome buy for $200.00.
If my card does anything worth mentioning, I'll post my benchmark scores too. I'm not expecting too much though given that I've come from an X800XTPE.
Here are some benchmark results with my (flashed) X800GTO2: 3D MARK O5: Stock: core(400)/memory(500)-4916 O/C core 540 memory 600 -5945 core 575 memory 600 -6071 Using Zalman copper fan. Not too bad so far. I'll post more soon.
Tobad the fireblade isn't that GTO2 version still it has the same cooling as the x850xt and he same memory Fireblade is able to clock at 550/540 so i geuss i'm fine with the 12 pipeline's still it's tobad
In other words... will the GTO or GTO2 be able to run "Toyshop" smoothly without any lag what-so-ever???
It does support the sm 2.0 HDR not true HDR. It does not have many of the features found on the x1600, but if you manage to unlock it, it would deffinetelly be faster. It can ran Toyshop with no lag as long as it is not using shader model 3.0.
I just readed a Review agian and it says nor the Normal GTO or GTO Ultimate is able to unlock the pipeline's (So The Fireblade version can?) I checked with Ati tool / Everest / Rivatuner They all Say it's the X850 Core R480 with the 1.6ns memory They even show it as x850Pro I checked wizzards mod article and it says if in ati tool the 2 letters marked red are F's yours is not moddable Mine aint F's so i'm still wondering if the fire blade edition (wich aint listed on the sapphire site) is able to be modded
