X800 PRO 256mb DDR3 - £150 inc vat !!

Just ordered one of these from overclockers.co.uk, was wondering if anyone had this card,

Its a Powercolor PCI-E version, im not too sure whether it is VIVO or not, it doesnt have the yellow clip on the back but it does have an addidtional adapter near the top. THe box says VIVO but there is no cable for it... I'm kinda stuck too because i orderd a fatal1ty board to go with it and a venice 3000 but the board was DOA with a 0.4. error which abit tell me is a memory problem, so that is back with overclockers and i am awaiting a new board.

Will this flash to an XT ??

Cheers for any help or comments, and this is the cheapest i have seen an x800pro by about 40 quid !

Hey, check out the latest Anandtech NF4 roundup and ditch the Fatality board and get the 9NPA+ and save some dosh at the same time!

I cant see the Powercolour X800 Pro with VIVO, only the X800XL Vivo. Are you sure you ordered the right card? The £150 Powercolour card is not described as VIVO....also I read in their forums that some chap had tried the mod on the PCI-E X800 Pro and it killed it!

I'm going to be flashing to pull the extra 4 PP on my card, Powercolor X800pro vivo... it seems to me that the cards with the 1.6ns Samung VRAM (VIVO) have the highest success rates, check your card to see if it has the same.

However my card is AGP, I have not the slightest clue about PCI-E

pci-e x800 series ATI cards do not mod with bios flashes. AGP only, unfortunately.
