Sapphire X800 to X800 XT
Well i read a few threads on this, some people saying you cannot upgrade from an X800 Pro to an X800 XT PE, some people saying you can I understand that the majority of the Pro's out there are NOT running the "Theatre" Chip, and therfore would need a uninstall/re-install of the Cats My question is I have been hearing that the "Sapphire X800 Pro VIVO" has a rage theatre chip on it...does this mean I can just swap it out for my XT PE when it comes? or should I still do the whole uninstall dance In fact Im not even certain that the Sapphire does have a Theatre chip...does anyone know for certain? ...ramble ramble ramble I know Longwinded any help is apreciated |

Hi. The Sapphire X800 Pro VIVO does have the Rage Theater Chip on it. Just look at the back of the board (the side without the cooler on it) and you'll see the chip in the corner. As far as swapping it out for your XT PE...I'd do a driver uninstall and reinstall. It only takes 15 minutes so surely can't be that much of a hassle  |

I also flashed my sapphire x800 pro vivo to a XT PE a while ago. However, it won't run stable @ that speed when I tested with ATI tool's Artifact tester. It locked up my computer after about 2 mins of testing. Therefore, I reload the original BIOS to the card...surprisingly, it still have 16 pipeline activated. Then I just overclock it to 500/560 when gaming... Computer Maniac |
