Successfully Unlocked my x850PRO!!

[-0MEGA-] · 07-21-2006, 06:17 PM

I just got my x850PRO yesterday, and this is what I got in 3DMark03 stock:

Then I did some research and found that my card can be unlocked, so I flashed it with the x850XT PE BIOS, and it successfully unlocked it from 12pp to 16pp, and from 500/500 to 540/590. I havent tried oc'ing it any more yet, but I will and i'll post those benchmarks back. And this is what I got in 3DMark03 after flashing the card:

(The only thing that changed was the video card BIOS, everything else was the same in both tests)

In case anyone is interested as to how I did it, I followed the directions here:

Does your's have VIVO, and is it AGP?

From researching I found that only cards with VIVO are able to sucessfuly unlock to 16pp.
