    thanks i purchased probably my last HD4870, this one has the 2TB version, X1not X2, $100, I know thats probably x3 what it should cost but needed to get another 1GB of ram for large assemblies in SWX.

    so even the 5XXX have problems moddding? CADCAT you modded up right? or is it kind of a half mod like allot of poeple post about Quadro mods..

    Yea I am afraid to to pull the trigger on anything newer than 4870 untill our mod Saints come up with a dedicated script for a newer card.. Its been years now, has it been difficult to mod the cards now or is there just nobody that has the time to work on it?

    Toxic HD4850
    Hello!

    I softmodded my HD4850. I followed all the steps listed in the first page of this topic. The card showed up as FirePro v8700 and everything seemed to be just fine. The problem is that in SolidWorks I can't switch to RealView feature. What's more - Viewport fps rate is now worse than stock hd4850 :O Also, when I'm trying to start OpenGL test in Cinebench 11.5, it says that my card "does not support the required features for this test". What is wrong? Please help me ;/

    Sorry for my bad English.

    Hey sorry for noobing it up, but i have a question about softmodding am i am just learning how it works.

    I am confused about the many models of cards that utilise the same gpu.
    For instance, from information ive gotten from http://www.techarp.com/showarticle.aspx?artno=88&pgno=1 i can see that Radeon HD 7970 and HD 8970 both utilise the Tahiti XT GPU, and am wondering if a similar process would work to upgrade a HD 7970 to a 8970.
    (this is hypothetical, i dont own a HD7970).
    If so, and i have a HD 7970 and used the softmod process to softmod to the firepro equivalent (W9000), using the W9000 driver, would the firepro driver be updated to unlock the potential of the Tahiti XT, thus giving me gaming performance similar to the HD 8970? or am i thinking about this all wrong?
    Thanks in advance

    Yes! any news? The 4870 is something like 5 years old now. We are wayyyy behind the curve now. Is there any hope in modding something up to date. Is it over?? !??!? :(

    try to upgrade script to support 8.911.3.4 version

    Hi everyone,it's first time to post a reply here.
    Thanks for schoko great job to show me how to do softmod. And following your work, I tried to decompile 8.911.3.4 driver to find how to patch, and I modified the patchscript, it looks worked.
    My card(ASUS HD4850) now work as v8700 with 8.911.3.4. But I need someone to help me to do testing,whether the performance is still improved. Because my card ,looks no performance improved even under 8.723 version, maybe ASUS card can not do soft mod.

    Here is the script.It's only for HD4850. You still need to modify script and .inf for your different cards as schoko's wrote.And you can install CCC and OpenCL64 in 8.911.3.4 driver packageThey all work.

    [Common]
    SrcFile = atikmdag.sys
    BakFile = atikmdag.old
    MakeCRC = 1
    Packed = 1

    ; script for win7_x64 driver 8.911.3.4

    DstVar0 = force ATI FireGL V8700 capabilities

    Src0 = B8 94 00 00 00 E8 86 5B 00 00 3B C5 74 46
    SCM0 = FF FF FF FF FF FF 00 00 FF FF FF FF FF 00
    Dst0 = B8 94 00 00 00 E8 F2 6D 00 00 3B C5 EB 46
    DCM0 = 00 00 00 00 00 00 FF FF 00 00 00 00 00 FF

    Src1 = B1 46 38 0B 75 B4 48
    Dst1 = B1 46 88 0B 90 90 48



    Src2 = BA 2E 00 00 00 48 8B CB E8 26 C7 FF FF 85 C0 0F 84 90 00 00 00
    SCM2 = FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF 00 00 FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF
    Dst2_0 = BA 2E 00 00 00 48 8B CB E8 36 BA FF FF C7 03 42 94 00 00 90 90
    DCM2 = 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 FF FF 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

    Hello,
    I am new to the whole driver modding thing...
    Could anyone please explain to me the reason for the first and second part of the changes in the script?

    I Understand that the third row is swapping the ID, but why do you need the other two?

    Thanxs Mino

    I'll try with my Mobility HD5870 and let you know if it worked!

    @all

    Sorry I don't have very much time lately and there were no new insights for a very long time, so we switched to real Quadro Cards which give a much better CATIA V5 Performance, even much better than real FirePros.. With other CAD/CAM Software it might be the other way round, but CATIA V5 loves nVidia.. But I still got my Notebook with ATI Card and want to run CATIA on it again, so maybe I can try around a Little in the next days and share the results with you guys..

    Greetings

    Update here, I spoke too soon the mod went away after a few reboots (always in test mode) nothing seems to bring it back not un-installing the drivers and re-patching fresh nothing. Any ideas welcome

    I have all the steps done the xml file the patched .sy_ etc.

    ////////////////////// edit and update /////////////

    I think the mod is working again after complete re-install, 106 fps in sw01 test.

    I followed a few details a bit closer like pressing F8 and disabling signing before using DESEO for signing, no idea really why the mod stopped working before, but seems to be working now at least for now.

    also no CCC installed. running DSEO with admin, etc.

    So to confirm 5850 modded to V7800. All I did was change the text in red
    DstVar0 = force ATI FireGL Mobility V7800 capabilities. Not sure if that is the right thing to do. Maybe its really running as 8700 since that is the patchscript.

    just an update for anyone that has struggled for days like I have. keeping fingers crossed the mod does not drop out again. Holding breath.

    hd3870@v7700
    Hi guys,

    Using windows xp 64 with fx8320-8core- , 16GB RAM. ATI HD3870 512MB.@V7700
    with the firts patch script is working. But only for the drivers version FirePro_8.633.


    Using drivers version FirePro_8.633_XP64_85569
    -SPECViewperf10 Maya Test: WFM: 254
    -OPENGL V.3.0
    -139 of 184 opengl V7700 extensions.
    -Maya: viewport2 incompatible.
    -Vue 10: incorrect texture in terrain modeler.
    -Speedtree6: no shaders, all textures black.


    Using FirePro_8.723_XP64_98789
    -SPECViewperf10 Maya Test: WFM: 51
    -OPENGL V.3.2
    -163 of 184 opengl V7700 extensions.
    -Maya: viewport2 opens
    -Vue 10: correct texture in terrain modeler.
    -Speedtree6: crashes, error with shaders.


    Using FirePro_8.85.7.3_XP64_129441 (using ati2mtag.sys patched from 8.723)
    -SPECViewperf10 Maya Test: WFM: 31
    -OPENGL V.3.2
    -163 of 184 opengl V7700 extensions.
    -Crashes.. bad.

    I need the correct patchscript for version 8.723 and xp-64 for hd3870@v7700.
    With HD3870 only works the 8.633 version. I tried all with no effort.
    Using openGL viewer with 8.723 shows advantages as opengl3.2, increased extensions and more capabilities in programs as Vue10(full support of Opengl2.1).

    Need help.
