Saphire X800GTO SLI?
- Thread starter FatRakoon
- Start date
Thanks for all the replies guys...
So, the answer is no then?
Never mind, sods law.
I am sure that I have already read this, but then again, probably not.
I was intending on going SLI some time, but not really all that vital... It was more of a wanting to see what it does rather than actually needing it... I still have a pair of Voodoo 2 cards that I have chucked into a TB1400 for kicks and they still work FFS!!! - Really useless fun these days... Have to runWin98 in that cos I never managed to get 2K/XP to SLI with those.
This thing with Master GFX Cards is new to me though!! I need to do some homework on that... I suppose its the same for SLI no matter what?
Has anyone got any news on the S3 PCIe Card yet? I have a review from a couple of months ago, and there was somethign about them being able to SLI on any Mobo??? - is that right? If so, then surely this XFire thing is a deliberate way of forcing people to stay with ATI hardware???
Anyway, just thoughts of someone who knows bugger all about SLI, so I am probably wrong.

There seem to be a lot of hype over these x800GTO cards doesnt there?
I got one. I got it for my P4 3.6 to try to boost it, cos there was an X700LE in there as stock, and I gave that P4 2GB RAM ( 4xSamsung 512MB ) and the GTO and it still no better than any of my AMDs, some running 9800Pro, and one a 6600GT, and was way slower than the 6800GT in the barton.
So, from my experience so far with it, I have not been at all impressed, which is the main reason for going for a PCI Mobo this time over AGP, as my main Mobo till now, has been the MSI Neo2 Plat as thats taken the x2 4400 jus' peachy
So, obviously, I will be expecting a lot more from this card than the P4 system delivered, otherwise, I might as well have just got myself another Rad9800Pro from the MM and saved half the cash to get piddled instead!

Exsomnis said:That's because the GTO fits there, unless you were one of the lucky ones who got to unlock a Connect3D GTO. The GTO² was the one that unlocked to X850 XT PE speeds.
Yes, its the GTO2 ( I cant do the small number 2 ) Its a saphire one, I got all the instructions to unlock it etc, but as this invalidates the warranty and I have found ATI cards to be the most unreliable piles of junk the last couple of years, there is no way in hell that I iwll bother to attempt any kind of adjusting till its gone past the warranty date.
GTO² - Oh yeah... Thank god for CTRL-C + V eh ? hehe
The Model I have, is that GX-101-SP ... Second from bottom in the OCUK ATI PCI / X800/X850 list... A good one perhaps? Clockable to the **** yes?
