Jack Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 The X800 GTO2 is an excellent value for money card. Why? Because you can unlock it to be the equivalent of an X850 XT PE. http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17481933 Plenty of testimonials in there too.

Guest Offerman Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Is it garinteed that you can unlock all the pipelines on every card? No, the card can fail, for unexplained reasons and you will always invalid your warrenty because they will find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altheman Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 I've had a Sapphire Radeon X800 GT 256MB for about a month now, excellent card, runs F.E.A.R pretty well with most of the settings up high, very good card for about £100. Only problem with the Sapphire is the tiny noisy fan which spins at a ridiculously fast speed and sounds like a hoover, I had to fork out £15 for a VGA silencer and now its dead quiet. As Jack said, the GTO2 model which Sapphire make is apparantly 100% guaranteed to flash to a X850 XT PE according to loads of reviews, you might have some trouble finding one though as everyone is after them and not many places seem to stock them. Also, if you're getting an X800 GT make sure you get the 256MB version, the 128MB version uses bog standard GDDR1 running at 700MHz whereas the 256MB version uses 980MHz GDDR3 for about an extra £10.
