Yes you can flash the card to a XT PE. Just makesure the card can handle the higher clocks of 520/560.

Got my asus x800pro vivo today, still 1.6ns memory and no artifacts when unlocking the pipes. BUT, it worked after installing the drivers, then i was trying to play some cs source to test it out and it crashed after a little while (like 2-3min). after that it wont boot windows anymore and just hang at the loading screen. Anyone else had this problem before? I flashed the bios with the asus x800xtpe bios agp 256mb samsung 1.6.

Go into safemode and delete your drivers and then reinstall them. If it does it again, you might have to go back to a pro.

So you get no picture on your screen? You ill have to put a PCI card in there and flash with that. If you get no picture from the PCI card, yo will have to take the AGP card out and just boot with the PCI card and go int the bios. The set the PCI card as the primary device. The put the AGP card back in and flash. Or you can blind flash...

Try flashing the card with the empty bios found here. Then fllash your regular bios afterwards. Don't reset between the flashes cause you don't need to. What flashrom are you using?

How? Monitor shows no signal screen and there arent any p.o.s.t. beeps or anything.. And it doesnt boot with a pci graphics card set to primary either..

[edit]I used the modified flashrom from the 1st post.

Flash it blind...put it ths way, the state your at, it doesn't hurt to try anything. And if you do RMA, don't tell that you flashed the bios. You shouldn't really RMA it cause its not truthfull, but what can ya do. ;)

the pc doesnt show any sign of activity at all besides the fans/hdd's that are on. I don't see 3,5'' activity either...it just stops before it can even show the boot image/ post message.

btw, the shop might just give me a brand new one and rma mine for themselves if i tell them that it never worked to begin with :)

c3d X800 Pro Vivo to XT PE

Hey,

I bought the Connect3d Radeon X800 Pro Vivo and put the XT PE bios on it. The PC immediately recognised it as the XT PE but when I checked the settings with ATITool, although it was running at 520/560 there were still only 12 active pipes? I have tried cleaning off the drivers and reinstalling them but it didn't make any difference. I've also tried the 16 pipe X800 pro Vivo bios but that still only ran 12 pipes?

At the moment I am running it with the XT PE bios and WOW runs great but it would be nice to have those extra 4 pipelines! Please does anyone have a suggestion of how I can activate the extra pipes or why it won't work for me?

Thanks

Yes it should work, but it doesn't mean that it will work. If the pipes are defective it wont.

Modified Flashrom

Hi Dan,

Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure I used the modified flashrom. The link you gave me downloads an invalid archive but the file size is different to that of the flashrom I previously downloaded so I would guess that I didn't originally use it. I used the link to flashrom from the instructions originally.

Please can you tell me where to get a good copy of the modified version?

Thanks

Doesn't Work on Sapphire

Put my order in 7/13/05 and the card I got (Sapphire Radeon X800 Pro VIVO 256MB) is laser cut. Not sure when the revision was made. Just an update

Do you have winrar to open the file with? Cause the link I gave you is to the officasl site for it. Get winrar here. . And then try to open the file with that.
