Here is a link that teaches how to make the Radeon X800 pro become a X800XT Grin

If the mod works it should actually open up 16 pipes.

I visit a forum here in UK regularly though and can report that the mod is not always 100% successful. I believe three people have managed to get it working and a few more than that cannot.

Here is the link off the site http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?s=&threadid=17229767

Still if you can get it going its a big bonus and you will get a better performing card Grin

Ops my mistake I meant 16 pipes (already fixed it), in the article I’ve linked, it has a theory for the ones that will work or not.
Quote:

The serial marking for X800XT PE was GA9000.1, which ends with 1. My GPU had 1 as its last digit as well. I have tested several X800Pro cards and done some research on the various forums. In the process, I have noticed that the cards which were able to turn into X800XTs all had a serial code of GAXXXX.1. I have successfully hard modded three X800Pros that had this serial code on their GPU.
I also tested a couple of X800Pro that didn’t end with GAXXXX.1. As we predicted, they all failed to become the X800XT. Now I can reasonably assume which ones can be modded, and which ones cannot. This assumption is based on several X800Pro that I have personally tested.

Yup that number I think means it has the same core as the XT. Hmmm now I just gotta find a shop that will let me open up there g/cards to find out what core each card has hehehehe Grin

If you get one and it works good on ya!! gotta be worth a try.
