you bet, and this is assuming you have gotten all of your files from:
techpowerup.com
after you have added the files to a bootable device this is what you should type at the prompt:
A:\flashrom -f -p 0 sapphi~1.bin
[ENTER]
you should hear a little music from the bios and then voila....16 pipes and
overclock till you are stable or content.
like I said you should easily hit 520/540-850XT speed but 540/590 X850XTPE
speed and more should be obtainable.
not bad considering these cards are 400/490 default.

Hey, I just bought the same x800 pro refurb last month. I need to call them before they send me another back. I had to RMA mine....Originally posted by: Superguy
Send it back.
I originally bought an X800 Pro refurb direct from ATI. Sent it back under the 30 day satisfaction guarantee when I saw this.
Got my card on Friday and the unlock worked like a charm. All 16 pipes, and my card will do 530/620.
Mine shipped with 12 pipes, bios unlocked to 16.
I flashed with the X850 XT bios to keep better speeds off the bat. However, the bios tells it there's a Rage Theater chip on there and it isn't, so the driver can't load it and you get an error. So I went back to the original 16p Sapphire bios.
I'm just using ATITool to overclock it.

Today was day 29, I won't have the card back by tomorrow. I'm screwed. But I'll egay it and make $$$ off of it. Their loss is going to be my gain.Originally posted by: Superguy

Just make sure you're within 30 days.
I was on day 28 when I called them.

Can the X800GTO be unlocked to 16 pipes too? Or is it only the X800GTO2? I really want one now...
