x850pro AGP 16p bios, no overclock.

TurboGLH · Oct 28, 2005

Hi, I'm looking for a 850pro agp bios with 16 pipelines enabled. I don't want to use a xt bios because I just bought the card and I'm not quite ready to start modding it yet. If anyone has a regular ati pro bios with the pipelines enabled that would be a great help. Thanks.

ShadowFlare · Oct 28, 2005

Post your bios and I can mod it for you.

TurboGLH · Oct 28, 2005

Here you go, I'm gonna take a stab at it myself, try and do a compare between a pro and an xt.

ShadowFlare · Oct 28, 2005

OK, all done. Here's your own 16 pipeline bios.

TurboGLH · Oct 28, 2005

Much appreciated.

TurboGLH · Oct 28, 2005

One boot disk and a quick flash and I'm off. Ati-tool shows 16 pipes open and I've got it o/c'd to a mild 530/530. Works great and because it still comes up as a 850pro, no driver reinstall. Thanks again.

Could i use the same file as well?

Vrgn86 · Oct 30, 2005

Hey Shadowflare, What are you using to edit bios??
Can you send file? or Link??

If your card is an X850 Pro AGP with VIVO, then go ahead and use it; that's what that bios is for.

I used a hex editor and RaBiT 1.7.

The value I changed was at offset 0x7A. It is the same value as shown in ATITool as CONFIG_ROM_FUSES. If this value is in a form like 0xA6X, 0x86X, 0x66X, 0x46X, 0x26X, etc.; the X would represent on of 4 values:

0 - no quads locked (16 pipelines)
1 - 1 quad locked (12 pipelines)
2 - 2 quads locked (8 pipelines)
3 - 3 quads locked (4 pipelines)

After modifying that value with a hex editor, I opened and saved it in RaBiT to correct some crc or checksum values that would need to be changed. I've checked it and found that this method will make a bios identical to one made by saving your bios, flashing a bios with the desired number of pipelines (using atiflash with -newbios option), then flashing your original bios (without -newbios).

So are you unable to boot with a PCI video card and having your AGP card still connected?

Ashcraft · Nov 5, 2005

Yes thats right. I cant boot up at all. Nothing seems 2 work.Iv tried the card in another PC but nothing.I am possitive that there is no visical damage so it has 2 be the bios....

Please mod this BIOS to 16 pipes. Thanks.

OK, I should have your custom modded bios done within the next two hours when I get home. It's actually a very simple mod (takes less than a minute

) and only a minimal time to upload even on dial-up because of the small size, so I don't really mind doing it for every single person who asks me to do it.

Even though you could get an identical bios by flashing with some instructions I've posted in another thread, I still don't really mind doing the mod anyway.

Maybe I should make a program to do some of these bios mods I've been doing recently.

Some of it would most likely have you use RaBiT to perform certain tasks, like fixing crc and checksum values, which is what I use to fix those when I manually do the mods.

TurboGLH · Nov 7, 2005

Instead of doing them all them over and over, they should be submited to the bios collection. As of right now there are no x850pro 16p bios' available. I sent the one you made into wizard, but I don't think it was posted.

If it was a bios for a card by a different company, it would still be useful to do the mod, though.

nullie, the modded bios is attached to this message.

The only modded 16p bios' in the list right now (besides the xt and xt pe versions) are for x800's. Just to get a base copy of the x850 pro 16p bios on there would keep you from having to mod a bios for someone everytime they need a copy.

X850Pro AGP i6 Pipe Bios

Here is one!

curlybilly · Nov 16, 2005

Please pimp my BIOS !!

Hey ShadowFlare,

yesterday i bought a Connect3D Radeon x850 pro AGP VIVO with 1.6 ns Samsung, and i`d like to unlock all 16 pipes.
To get the BIOS from the video card, i have pressed " dump BIOS " in ATItool and renamed it, hope that`s OK.

Could you please unlock all 16 pipes on that bios for me?
