ATI X700 256MB PCI-e flash to pro

[The Linuxator]

So after I have sold my good old Powercolor VIVO X800XL for almost the price I paid for it almost a year ago, I landed my hands on a cheaper solution, I paid $ 70 for the Saphire X700 and I was wondering anyone ever flashed this thing to Pro, or anything else? I want to see how much juice I can get out of this baby

just oc it to pro speeds. isnt that the only difference?

Well the pipelines are the same, but I can't OC to pro without artifacts, since the pro and the X700 have the same cooling, I am not considering a cooling upgrade, but I was considering that maybe a BIOS flash might up the voltages, most probably the pro will have a higher Vram and Vgpu .

To the thread starter...

I was searching google for help on a flash I recently did and came across this thread.

I too have a Sapphire X700 non pro 256mb PCI-E and tried to flash it to pro.

BIG mistake lol it was kind of successful and now I get artifacts all over the place whenever I play a game (even if I try lower frequencies).

I was wondering if you could do a huge favor for me.

I was wondering if you could send me the dumped original bios for your card to my email: neo1716@hotmail.com. I didnt back it up stupidly and im struggling on finding this orignal bios.

Thanks.
