Very good chance it will... all the AGP VIVOs didn't have die locks - it was just a matter if the pipes weren't defective.

hmm
how do u expect to fit it?
i say... modding a hsf isnt very fun, it takes an hour to drill the holes...
ati silencer is a possible choise, but u could also get the better zalman vf900... they are very cheap
silencer will vent air out of case, so expect lower case temps and higher gpu temps
vf900 keeps air in case, so expect slightly higher case temps (unnoticable if u have good airflow) and way low gpu temps
its a trade off...
i would go for the higher case temps

um it will be. the old cards had caps everywhere and the bottom of those heatsinks are large and flat. not to mention the ramsinks wont match up ect. its just stupid to even attempt.

That card has R481 and the chance to unlock is 80% because not all X850PRO VIVO's AGP could be unlocked. They has DIE lock and most of these cards where Connect3D. The brands with very big chance for unlocking are ATI (more than 95%), MSI (100%), HIS (100%), Sapphire (?)
