sapphire x800pro vivo

nealric · May 16, 2005

Is there any chance of getting a softmodable one if I get one now?
Or are they all hardlocked?

How are these overclocking?
Will the overclocked vivo do better than a xl usually (they are same price)?

One last thing...
I have never used vivo. I know it stands for video in/ video out.

Does this mean it can be used to capture analog video or does it just act as a pass through to the monitor?

are you looking for a PCI-E or AGP ? PCI-E would be a no go

pci-e

why is it a no go?

You haven't been able to unlock Pro's for over a year now, and the PCI-E version, IIRC is natively 12 pipes...so no chance whatsoever.

It'll bench better than an XL no doubt. I'd say they'd be about equal in reality.

with no-go I only ment what Gautam said - that you can't unlock it. Otherwise I love the card - been treating me very well

Man, I had the same question as you. I started looking on eBay and found this seller, I e-mail him about the RAM and stuff and he said it had 1.6 ns timings and it's a VIVO so the pipelines should be able to be unlocked. I'm looking at buying one once I get the money. Since it has 1.6 ns RAM in a X800 Pro, you should be able to hit X800XT PE speeds. BTW, they are PCI-E cards.

The seller is full of **** - don't fall for it.

Why couldn't you mod it? If it's a VIVO, then the pipelines should be uncut. Also, I have seen X800 Pro PCI-Express models with 1.6 ns memory at other places before.

I unfortunately haven't. And I have been searching for them. Where did you see them at?
