I bought one today for cheep "Awesome!" Tried to flash it and I hexed the rom and black screen at boot up on SD it says edit lines 3 & 8 but on your X800 guide it says lines 2 & 8. Im stuck and the google search is not working on pro boards right now. Any help would be great.

Lines 3 & 8 must be changed from 4A 48 (48 4A) in rom TO 4A 4D (4D 4A) in rom for Fire GL X3 only. Good luck.   |

I have to admit, I have not tried the reduced rom on this card, I have only tried the full rom with a chip change. This could be your problem. I assume the flash went OK in OSX? Everything should be fine on your Hardware (some Quicksilvers will not work with X800) You might need the ATI rom extender kext. I have to go to work now but can help Fri night Sat morning, I am in Belgium tonight on business.

ps, I showed X850 pic as this can also be flashed to X3 (if you lower speeds to X800 - you get Rotation but lose some other features) but in the interests of accuracy have changed to X800! See You |

I looked at ATIccelerator and found that my card has been running at 472 core and 500 mem what speeds did u typically run your cards at? this is my x3. because I recently found out its stock speeds where 425 core 450 mem, this is with the stock cooler too.

So I thought I would mention I came across this buy accident My MDD now wakes from sleep with the X3 in it with the reduced rom when it did not originally do this there must have been an update for 10.5 at some time that made this able to happen thought I would pass it along.
