 Hello everyone

   I own an  ati rx 800 pro 256  and i wonder if someone has already overclocked such

Hi Yvon,

The X800 Pro can be overclocked to XT PE specs with some simple mods to the clock speeds; if you're feeling a little bit more adventurous then you can also flash the BIOS so that you can achieve full XT PE status.

PS. C'est bon voir un Francaphone dans le Simviation!  ;D

Oui, j'ecris la phrase ci-dessus!  ;)

Cheers,
Mehdi.

Not all ATI x800 rpo can be o/c to xt PE speeds, bu a good deal can. It also depends on the cooling solution on your card.

Flashing a x800 pro to a xt or XT PE must be done carefully. Most x800 pro's have a laser cut that disables some pipelines and therefore would crash the vid card if flashed to a x800 xt since the x800 xt has no disabled pipelines.

Thank you for yr advice i think i 'm going to leave it like it is then...!

Overclocking wont crash card just flashing its BIOS because when it tries to use all pipes and some are gone its like WTFBBQ and shuts down

Overclocking is fine, I was just warning about flashing bios which is a bad idea unless you know what you are doing.

        Hello!
Well...i've heard about this new card  xfk gforce 7800 gtx,i'd perhaps be most advised to wait  it is available to buy but problem is that i think it s only for PCE MB!Ah!we will never see the end to get a nearly perfect graphism with FS9 ! Until now with my actual config it almost perfect only  above fl100 altough a see top of mountains moving  from the sides!!

Hi Yvon,  ;D

That's a sweet set-up perfect for just about any game. I don't think any overclocking is really necessary unless you want some extra FPS, in which case I would recommend you just overclock your X800 Pro to XT PE speeds. Simple to do with a good program called RivaTuner, available here: www.guru3d.com

Cheers,
Bonne soiree,
Mehdi.  :)
