Ist diese vorgehenweise korrekt?
1. Download modified flashrom.
2. Download Bios from here.
I suggest the latest X800XT PE Bios.
A little sidenote: Many people complain that they get a "file not found" error when trying to flash the Bios under DOS. The problem is that DOS does not know long filenames, so all files are truncated to some funky names like Powerco~1.bin. Either use the dir command, when in DOS, to find out the short filename or rename the file to something shorter while still in Windows.
If you know your card can't handle the XT PE speeds you can download a modified X800 Pro VIVO Bios from there as well (ATI X800 Pro VIVO 16P). This Bios is just 16P enabled and is recognized as X800 Pro - clocks are unchanged.
3. Use the modified flashrom to flash the Bios to the card. More extensive flashing instructions can be found here. They talk about atiflash - you use the modified flashrom, usage is the same.
4. After bootup Windows should automatically install the X800 XT PE driver.
5. Verify the number of active pipelines using ATITool.
kann ich irgendein xt bios verwenden oder muß es genau von dem hersteller der karte sein??
