A nice theory ;) However, I assure you I'm neither an ATI employee, nor am I pretending to be anyone else. The mod is easy, but it's just getting the guts to scrape away at those points relatively tough without wanting to trash an expensive card. It took me 2 attempts before it got working. Hopefully we'll have more reports later :)

Do you have any idea how much trouble I'm gonna get in with me wife for going out and buying an X800 pro behind her back?!?!? ;) Thank you and all the gang over at OCers UK, that was a most impressive thread last night where you all figured it out. :D

...there's been a few ATi employees who were teasing me about it and they've been telling me for months that it's probably possibly but they tried to make it harder this time. 8) I still don't think this is that bad a thing for ATi, how many average users would even dream of attempting this? For geeks like me and thee it's a no-brainer, but most people I know break into a cold sweat when I start talking about changing drivers....a hardware mod on a $400 bit-o-kit I'm pretty sure would be the height of insanity. ;)

Yayzers! The formatting was worth it! :D Thanks for deleting me "extended text"...I almost thought you'd leave it in as a bit-o-a-spanking. ;) :lol: Keekles & roofles, I'm giddy about this mod being discovered!
