Hey. After reading several different things, I'm unsure as to whether the X850Pro will softmod to an X850XT. I was looking at the sapphire version with vivo, this one to be exact: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...2E16814102498R
Does anyone know if it will successfully softmod? If not I'll just get an X800XL.

I was thinking of this if I end up getting an X800XL
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102538

EDIT: Just found something interesting here:
X850XT:

X850Pro:

Notice how in the bottom left corner, there are 8 IC's on the XT and there are only 6 on the Pro, with two spaces for them.

For just a few dollars more, you can get an X800XT (also at Newegg as well as some other places) if you're willing to wait on a rebate.
