X800 pro -> XT softmod in NGO's newe driver set

tornado=[GSW]= · Jun 10, 2004, 10:44 PM

The driver set has been updated to include a softmod for X800 pros to XTs, anyone try it yet?

mikeycooly · Jun 10, 2004, 10:48 PM

I will right now

zerodamage · Jun 10, 2004, 11:23 PM

I am not sure how this would be possible. Anyone else try this yet?

mikeycooly · Jun 10, 2004, 11:47 PM

I installed them and it tells me to manualy change it to an xt in the device manager the only prob is there is no xt driver! in the inf! only a x800 Pro and x800 and a x800 series!

zerodamage · Jun 10, 2004, 11:53 PM

Sounds like a scam to get people to download a junk driver set. If a softmod is possible, wait for Omega to do it. I do not think it is possible however.

from what I can tell ati clipped the pipelines on the x800s, so soldering or conductive paint is the only way....no softmodding

Too bad the download is link is dead !!

Bart1987 · Jun 11, 2004, 05:29 PM

I doubt it'll work. like pr0digal jenius said. Ati cut something on the chip so it wouldn't work. I don't think a driver can fix that.

riles9262 · Jun 11, 2004, 05:44 PM

Are there any cases on the site of the mod working yet?

mikeycooly · Jun 11, 2004, 05:53 PM

No they fixed it I guess BUT THEIR Download LINK IS DEAD!

zerodamage · Jun 11, 2004, 05:57 PM

I have the file if anyone wants to mirror it, I will send it. PM me.

sorry for the inconvince, we had some major issues in the last release, regarding the softmods
we working on it. update will be posted as soon as possible.

How strange. :P

MindlessOath · Jun 11, 2004, 07:44 PM

i was in the IRC chat room and i asked about it.
the main problem was the softmod from 9800se to 9800... it was giving lots of people blue screen of death

so they removed it until its fixed.

Bart1987 · Jun 11, 2004, 08:32 PM

ok. But now all softmods are gone. Or is the whole file gone?

zerodamage · Jun 11, 2004, 08:45 PM

I think the whole driver package is bogus. I ask those that are working on a softmod, do not give up.

Bart1987 · Jun 11, 2004, 08:48 PM

Do you think a softmod is possible?

zerodamage · Jun 11, 2004, 08:50 PM

I believe anything is possible.

MindlessOath · Jun 11, 2004, 09:43 PM

a softmod is possible, but not in the way they are thinking. remember the cards are identicle except for a rage theater chip, bios, and the core jumper possition in the top right corner. with older vid cards like 9500np and 9700np ... those cards difered the same way cept for a transister and its position. meaning its possible, but the way its been presented before by wizzard will not work. bios will have to be moddified as well as drivers. their are drivers out that will mask the name and use beta drivers for the performance bost. that will not make it 16 pipes, it will just say that, and those who belive it are just being mistaken.

zerodamage · Jun 11, 2004, 09:50 PM

I know that using the XT's bios will let up on the memory timings and allow for more RAM OC.

MindlessOath · Jun 11, 2004, 09:53 PM

but it still has settings and problems with rage theater chip on it. so it will still cause problems meaning it will need to be modded.

zerodamage · Jun 11, 2004, 09:55 PM

well right now all you get is a warning dialogue that you can click off. I believe as time goes on these things will be modified and will improve. I personally would not hardmod a 400+ dollar video card. If i want the XT PE, i will pay an extra 70 dollars or so and get it.

RicHSAD · Jun 11, 2004, 10:41 PM

I believe their softmod problem has something to do with the 9500 to 9700 cuz when I installed these drivers with that softmod Windows XP would just crash with blue screen after the loading.

MindlessOath · Jun 11, 2004, 10:47 PM

yes the drivers currently have a problem with 9800se to 9800 softmod that casuses bluescreen... it may also be for the 9500 to 9700 as i havent tried it yet. /me not home. but thats the NGO driver problem that should be solved from now until next week. and they should also give credit to those with the ideas of the softmod's they are using.
