Has anyone try to flash bio on X850 Pro to XT? How?
Will it unlock up to 16 pipes?

I think I've only ever heard of one brand/version of an X850 Pro(maybe it was an X800 Pro though) unlocking. It was quite a while ago though and I doubt that X850 pro will unlock. How well does it oc'? GL

Only the X800 PRO with VIVO can be flashed to X800XT or X800XT PE, due to different ID's in the PCB, GPU and BIOS etc, is not recomendable to flash it into the X850, it will rarely work, you might try, but after all, the X800XT PE runs the same speed core as the X850XT and the X850XT PE runs barely 20MHz more, but the RAM speed is the most important factor, if I were you, you should check your RAM speed specification, if it is 2.0ns, you are out of luck, if it is 1.6 you are fine. I flashed my X800XT to PE and it works great, but I cannot overclock it, not even the RAM, a display corruption happens if I overclock the RAM 20MHz or more, and the GPU 10MHz or more. Pity, :(

It also depends on the age of the X850Pro. The older "batches", for the most part, all seemed to be unlockable. The newer ones though (sold in December and later) with a Serial number above 1805xx have had little to no success. The best thing would be to look on Ebay and ask the seller what Serial number the card is, then do a google search on it. For instance, I was looking into buying a x850Pro with a 180529 Serial number, which according to forums was successful at unlocking. (And just to verify this, someone else was selling an already unlocked x850Pro, which incidently, had a 180529 serial number). So, just do some research on the Serial number of the card before you buy it. If you can't acquire the Serial number, then at least try to purchase an older one.
