Programs not recognizing video card as x800XT

[Elemennop]

Every program that I've run where it tries to recognize the video card (3DMark05/03, Halo PC, Morrowind) all register it as 'Radeon X800 Series' instead of an X800XT. 3DMark still recognizes the VGA Memory Clock + Core speed at 499.5Mhz, which is what the X800XT is advertised as. I've also gotten scores of 5500 on Mark05 and 11800 on Mark03, so I don't believe it's inability to be recognized is affecting the actual performance. Should I just not worry about this, or is it going to affect me in a bad way?

The Video card is the Sapphire Atlantis (blue PCB) X800 XT. 3DMark recognizes everything else correctly as far as I know.

The x800XT is the x800 series, don't see the problem here...

3DMark has never been particularly accurate at detecting which exact model of card you have. For instance, 3DMark03 reports any RADEON 9800 as a "RADEON 9800 Series GPU", even though that includes the 9800SE, 128-bit '9800Pro', 9800, 9800Pro, and 9800XT, which differ vastly in performance (at least it's usually pretty good at getting the clockspeeds).

Plus, as pointed out, an X800XT *is* an X800-series GPU.

Don't worry about it.

I basically flashed my X800XT to X800XT PE and it's recognized as an XT PE instead of a regular X800 card.

I understand it is an x800 series card, but there are plenty of builds on the ORB at 3Dmark with specific X800XT GPU's.

Alright, so there's no problem. Thanks.
