Well as u read the X1800 GTO can be unlocked to 16 pipes with just a softmod. U just have to load the X1800XL bios onto it. Very preliminary and they said that the first batch of cards didnt have a good success rate but the next batch are supposed to be completely unlockable. Looks like a worthy successor to the X800 GTO^2. Waiting for more news, but if the success rate is good this is probably going to be my next card.

X1800GTO does not become a X1800XL after flashing HIS firmware

I did a test by flashing the firmware available and found out it to be fake. The device id remains at 0x710A. Instead the GPU coreclk goes up to 520MHz and memory remains at 500MHz. The number of pipelines remains at 12.

Now i suspect the screen shots reported might be fake for marketing publicity. If you own are X1800GTO, it is quite safe to force flash the so call X1800XL firmware.
 
^^Oh damn, thats bad. But i dont think hkepc would post fake news will it? And they said the first batch dosent unlock very well. Will just have to wait and see. Still think this is a better buy than a 7600 GT even if it dosent unlock, but then again this is $230. For $280 u can get a x1800xt 256 MB.
