R480 --> V7100

hhmm.. tried both VEEHOMER and huangyanhao scripts on the unified 8.163.1, both successfully patched, but both doesnt work on my 9800xt@x2 with maya. guess i have to go back to the last working version which is 8.083
maybe the scripts wasnt made for 9800xt@x2. oh well..
thanks for the scripts though.

 

Thanks VEEHOMER. I used your script to patch my Mobility 9800 to FireGL-X3. Must use separate monitor instead of laptop screen - but that was the same with 8.083 drivers and Rivatuner. (Something to do with different output for FireGL?)
I haven't done benchmark but renderings are noticeably faster.
Thanks again to you and UNWINDER!

 

Which Control Panal did install?

 

The newest one. I just patched it and install Cp and then i found some reg. keys in folder, so i ran them and whoala correct CP, but as i say in Cinema 4D it is same .

Renderings? You are using realtime shaders?

 

Could you post SPECView before/after benchmarks?

 

I'm sorry I dont have SpecVIEW. It is quite big to download, btw I'm not 3ds max user, so it doesn't have any sense for me.

hey.... i successfully modded my mobility x600 128 to mobility firegl v3200.....

STILL one problem
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY PATCH SCRIPTS FOR 8.163 ---64-bit---?

 

ok..... i found a problem..... the patch script is only for ati2mtag.sys.......

BUT has anyone been able to patch atioglgl.dll on 8.163?.....

i am experiencing some problems.... like wireframe mode in max doesn't show all the wires..... shows only meshes.... but not boxes or nurbs...... and i have the atiom7gl.drv installed.....

please note that there are no problems using the 8.083 unprotected atioglgl.dll

now we need SoftFireGLAntiprotectionOGL.rth updated..... anyone?

 

Hi All !

I've successfully softmodded my X800 GTO² @ X850XT-PE @ fireGL V7100
But I'have a decrease of performance, and I can't install the FGL Panel, rivatuner patch doesn't work, so I have only OpenGL and Direct3D Panel, no other ones...
I have the 163 Drivers, because Maya works well with it (No bug in Paint Effect and Isoparms)

Is somebody can help me about patching correctly the control panel setup of 163 Drivers please ?

And, VEEHOMER, it seems I have the same config as you, but you do 45 fps in Maya, I do 15 fps
I Have an Opteron 165 @ 2x2.7 ghz and 1Go DDR @ 240 Mhz

Could you explain me what are your optimisation for Maya ?

Thanks you

 

i noticed a performance drop when i installed the control panel. The installation works without any patching but the performance in spec maya benchmark went done.
Without using the cp i have a score in maya bench of 30 instead of 14.

I have a Athlon XP-M@2400Mhz. I think 30 is the normal score for fgl at this base.

I am using the 163 drivers, but i still have the paint effects bug.

@sheen: I guess that you have not the pfx probs because there is no hardware acceleration.

If you turn off the second monitor and use auto balanced settings(you can do this in Atri Tray Tools) there are no PFx Bugs anymore. It works with the normal calalyst driver for Radeon cards.

 

Hi all,
Sorry for bumping an old thread. I just managed to softmod my x800 gto2 to a FireGL v7100. Earlier, I had installed 6.13, and I used Firegl 8.163

I think I was successful. CCC now shows a workstation option, where I can select the app for optimisation. Now, what else can I do for testing? Specview is too big to download. Is there any smaller benchmarking tool?

 

Do you have a 3D app installed? You can create a simple object and smooth it to create an object with a million or more polygons. Then move the viewport. You should have framerate enabled to see the differences. Rather simple but effective i think.

 

I have max8...how do I check frame rate in that?

BTW, Everest Home Edition is still showing my card as Radeon X850 Pro (R480). Does this mean I didn't mod it properly?


Edit: - Ok, checked fps using Fraps. With Firegl mod, I got 17 fps in a scene. Reverting back to 6.13 gave 10 fps. So it is working I guess.

 

Hi zhopudey.
Could you describe step by step how you did this, please.

You got speed increase and workstation control panel so I guess you DID IT .

PS: and could you post ID of your card?

 

Hi zz1 ,

1) I used huangyanhao's script. Copy paste the entire thing and save as anything.rts And I followed Lord Banshee's guide - http://forums.guru3d.com/showpost.php?p=1050290&postcount=2

2) Expanded Firegl drivers 8.163 using winrar

3) Installed Rivatuner. ( it gave a warning saying my current drivers - 6.13 - were not supported. Ignored it ).

4) Ran huangyanhao's script. Selected V7100. Pointed it to the file it asked for, in the just expanded 8.163 drivers.( ..\Driver\2KXP_INF\B_18414) ( the file will be *.sy_, not *.sys )

5) Now, according to lord banshee's guide, we need to modify two files. First is ..\Driver\CX_18678.ini (for winXP). But, I didn't find this file. I found a ini file CX_xxxxx.ini, which I changed. If you're using win2k, change the C2_xxxxx.ini file. ( Will post exact file names when I go home)
Now first change is, find 'r6=', and add your cards device IDs. This took me quite time, as I don't have the brains and skills like the experts here. Finally, common sense prevailed. Checked under control panel > system > hardware > device manager > display adapter . The device ID is mentioned in the properties. For my gto2 (flashed to 16p), its 0x5D4F and 0x5D6F. It should be the same for your card as well. So I added these two numbers at the end of 'r6=' line.
Save, close.


6) Then, lord banshee asks to open the ..\Driver\2KXP_INF\CX_18678.inf file. Again, I didn't have this particular file, so I opened the CX_xxxxx.ini file in that folder. Here, we have to find 'manufacture', and add the FireGL card info. Luckily, I found V7100 was already present. So, I only had to change the Device IDs to that of mygto2.... i.e. 5d4f and 5d6f.
Save, close.

7) Device Manager > Display Adapter > Primary > Update Drivers > Have Disk > Point to the drivers. > Driver is not Digitally signed ( ok, whatever, please proceed) > Click OK, do not reboot.

8) Device Manager > Display Adapter > Secondary > Update Drivers > Have Disk > Point to the drivers.> Driver is not Digitally signed ( ok, whatever, please proceed) > Click OK, reboot.

Voila!!! Enjoy

 

Thanks

I will try that and report back how it goes. I have same ID so cards should be identical.

 

ITS WORKING
Thank you, your da :dave:

I got speed increase in Spec (maya test) from 17.72 to 43.50 (thats without overclock)

 

re

Thanks very much Man and specially for ZZ1
He send me his bios and his patched drivers
Because i have problem only with patched drivers don't work for me.
My card is Sapphire X800GTO2 VIVO
and may be vivo was the problem when i put bios without vivo everything is good.

It Works, thanks all ^^

I was using Specviewperf 9.1 instead of 9.0 or 8.1 likes you, 9.1 give very low fps.
I was using "Maya" settings in FireGL Panel, this does not works, I left the "default" option it's perfect =) (Thanks zz1)
