Well somehow I think a lot if us where waiting for this... And PCUnleash has done it. We have
to admit that a fairly long period of time has passed between the day PCUnleash came out with their
notorious X800 mod, and today, well they are able to share the long-awaited
6800mod. One of the reasons it's taken so long is that it took a while to
perform the necessary research for something as ambitious as the 6800mod. To be
honest, PCUnleash had had
the idea of modding the 6800, even while they were publishing the X800pro mod.
However, they didn't have the entire 6800 series at there disposal at the time,
so they could not yet verify if such a mod was actually going to
work.

Some people have claimed that once you get the BIOS flashing, the 6800 can
open up the extra pipelines. These claims, it turns out, are true but the
results are certainly not optimal. At best, when the process is successful
you'll achieve 16 pipelines, but the driver would still be indicated as a mere
6800. Here, however, PCUnleash I will show you a much superior method. PCUnleash will demonstrate
that even a 6800LE, which has only eight pipelines, can be readily transformed
into a full-fledged 6800Ultra. |
