convert Ati X700 Pro into a FireGL card

riosup · 2nd Nov 2005, 03:40 AM

Hi,
I have an Ati X700 Pro (Gigabyte - GV-RX70P128D-SP) – PCI-E and I want to “convert” into a FireGL card. I made this with my last card (an Ati 9600 Pro – AGP) and I had good results on graphic programs (CAD) where OpenGL is important. I tried now with FtrrFireGL and seems it won’t work. Could tell me somebody a solution?
Thanks’.

I don't think it is possible because RivaTuner's patch script only have hacks for FireGL X1, X2, X3, T1 & Z1 which are equivalent to 9700, 9800, X800, 9600 & 9500. Therefore it is impossible to softmod X700 to FireGL V5000 unless Unwinder (creator of RivaTuner) does something to the patch scripts

hope that helps.

Anyway, check out the updated guide http://www.rojakpot.com/showarticle....tno=105&pgno=0

Edit: not unless you hardmod your X700!

Thanks'. I'll look for future release of RivaTuner (but I preferred FreeFireGL ...

).
Thanks' anyway.

Some people have modified Riva tuner patch scripts and had success.
