This voltmod applies to:
X800 Non-Pro, X800 XL and X850 PCI-Express using PCB #A474
X850 AGP using PCB #A475
The blue Sapphire PCB has the same layout as the red ATI PCB, so it will work on all those models no matter which manufacturer.

Mods to solder

On most cards (like in our picture) there is no resistor installed in the VGPU location.
Solder to both contacts of the empty pad then, otherwise solder to the contacts of the resistor.

Pencil mods

If there is no resistor installed (like in our picture) you have to make a pencil bridge between the contacts of the empty solder pad, otherwise draw directly on the resistor.
