    hi,
    i have just bought a sapphire radeon x800 GTO2 but mine seems a little different to the others.
    first off all 16 pipelines were already unlocked acording to ati tool and i got 4914 in 3d mark05 with stock speeds.
    secondly i have a dual dvi out, and in the pictures and description of the x800 gto2 it has ONE dvi and one vga port.
    also ati tool says ivr got the R430 chip, when i have got the R480 chip, bios flash needed?
    is this the last batch of special cards since they have stopped making them now or something?
    it says limited edition on the box, but arent all gto2's?
    and once its OC'ed a bit, i got 5734 in 3dmark05.

    any reasons for these differences?

    try uninstalling ati tool, and reinastlling, it, see what it says then.

    also, i think that the gto, is an x850 in disguise. There is a bios flash available, which actually unlocks the x800 gto to x850 specs, so maybe ati tool reads it as an x850??

    And this link confirms that ati tool recognises your x800 gto as an x850

    i seen on rage 3d, there is an X800GTO16 out now, which is one with all 16 pipelines unlocked, maybe that is same as yours, and has been wrongly packaged.
