X800
« on: September 30, 2004 04:01 pm CDT »
A few people recently found that the X800 Pro VIVO model is basically an X800 XT with BIOS restrictions. By installing the XT BIOS you get all 16 pipes of the XT! I'm sure the manufacturers might correct this soon, so if you have $400 to throw down on a video card you should definately get one. Note that this only works for the VIVO version and not the standard X800 Pros. The X800 XTs are currently $600-$700.. so this is quite a penny saver.

Dunno if this violates the TOS, sorry if it does, delete it if it does.

This doesn't violate the TOS. It isn't illegal. It is actually good information to have and should be on uberclockers.com

As a point of history:  Our last server clear was on September 27, 2004.  That is 4963 days ago (13.6 years) as of today.

If you're visiting after a long hiatus and have forgotten your password, try emailing me via the support form at http://www.pcrpg.org.

If your character is from after the 2004 clear but appears to have been deleted or reset, chances are it was caught in one of the inactive account purges over the years.  Backups were made before such events, so try the support form.

Heh, nice info.

A guy at my work actually bought one of those, I'm sure he'll be glad to hear it.

This post, by its very length, defends itself against the risk of being read.

Very good stuff.  Nvidia has also been restricting the pipes on their 6800 line, but can be enabled through RivaTuner (http://www.olegator.com/softmod/index.html)

I'm not going over to the dark side of Nvidia just yet.  I'm gonna stick around with ATI for one more go-around and see how they fare before I make a Next-Next-generation purpose.
