Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
SUCCESS!!
I flashed the BIOS on my X800 Pro VIVO PCI-E card and unlocked the four locked rendering pipelines. I believe the core/mem were running at 475/450 MHz before, and now they run at the XT's default 500/500 MHz.

I wouldn't mind getting my hands on both the BIOS for the X800 XT *and* the X800 XT...

Oh, you really ought to try the Sapphire X800 XT (PCI-E) BIOS, not that X850 one. It's at the bottom of the Sapphire list...or just click here:

Also, you've still got the 16 pipelines instead of 12, right?

Just make a backup of your original BIOS. If necessary, you can get a super cheap PCI video card from ebay for $1 (or even less) that you can use to boot up while you replace your original BIOS.
I'm definitely going to try it when I buy my PCI-Express card.
Bump. (informative bump)
I'm still eager to hear if anyone has flashed one of these yet. Here's some good info:
The techPowerUp site has a BIOS collection which actually includes one from a PCI-Express Radeon X800 XT made by Sapphire: http://www.techpowerup.com/bios/

Has anyone tried to flash the bios from X800 Pro VIVO to X800 XT on a new PCI-Express video card?
One reason I went with ATI for my PCI-Express motherboard was that Nvidia wasn't redesigning their architecture for the new PCI-Express setup. They were merely slapping on an adapter chip onto...
