when you flash a vga bios for example what nick did it with his x800gto> and you wanted to flash it to a X850XT PE, do you flash it with the correct X850XT PE bios or what?

Always be careful when flashing the BIOS mate (not saying don't do it, cos otherwise I shouldn't be posting on this forum), and be very careful getting the right one....... if you don't use the right bios and 'force' flash it (as the software will always warn if the BIOS's don't match) - meaning that you don't get the warning message, then you are likely to get no display when you reboot.... it can be fixed but means you'll need another card of the opposite make to put it right......
Don't push your clock frequencies too high when you've BIOS modded, as you can fry your card more easily than normally.
Hope this isn't off topic????
Hope your clock goes well, let us all know!

In addition to the above, if you can get your hands on an old PCI graphics card you can boot up using that one and then flash your AGP bios back to what it was.

So fecking true
(no offense Frag )New Sapphire Radeon X1800 GTO2
I purchased a brand new Sapphire Radeon X1800 GTO2, and the online store I got it from, another individual, in their review, said that it is a card which, if bios flashed and tweaked, can be gotten a good amount of performance out of... Now, I'm new to vga toying with, and I was really hoping, this forum would help me find information on it, so far I haven't had much time at all to search, but if anybody can maybe point me to some kind of details on how this all works, or maybe some newb tutorial?
that would be awesome.
My card is pci-express and 512mb, 256bit mem interface btw.
i've yet to even install or use it, but i'm coming from a radeon 9600XT, so i'm sure it will be a major, major upgrade

Yeah, that's basically what I am trying to do, even if it doesn't get renamed, to say... X1800 XT or whatever. I know some cards can simply be overclocked w/ a simple windows GUI based utility, but I've also read that some, (particularly newer ones?) sometimes are not accessible (yet it seems..) through Windows anyway.. :nono:
