Hey guys,
I just got my newest upgrades up and running. One of them is my new vid card. ATI x800 pro. I've read several reviews saying that these are the same boards as the xt's pretty much which has 16 pipes vs. the 12 on the x800 pro. One site I read (this was a few weeks ago so I have no links...sorry) said that the 4 pipes could be unlocked on the Sapphire x800 pro with a simple bios mod. My card definately isn't a sapphire, and everything that I read saying the extra 4 pipes could be unlocked referred to the sapphire. My question is, does my card have these other 4 pipes and can I unlock them? I hope so...... and also.... how... it'd be nice to get some xt specs or close to out of this thing without tearin it up.
Thanks.
Brad
