Re: 6800 OC +Junk
I believe the 128mb AGP version is the only model that will allow you to unlock the additional pipelines.
If you'd like to overclock your core and memory clock speeds, the easiest way is to download and install forceware coolbits, and adjust it from your nVidia control panel under clock frequency settings. -

Oh, I have the PCI-Ex16 one. I thought you could unlock them on all of them...?Comment

Re: 6800 OC +Junk
You can OC your graphs card via the actual Forcware drivers themselves.
But firstly you will need to source a reg entry application called Coolbits.
Otherwise a 3rd party program like Rivatuner or powerstrip will enable to OC and possibly even unlock the nobled extra pipes within your GPU core.
A word of caution in doing so tho, as the unlocking of extra pipes can cause artifacts.Comment

Re: 6800 OC +Junk
I have 6800 and when I tried to unlock the pipelines with Rivatuner, I got artifacts

srry to bump in but what are artifacts?Comment

Re: 6800 OC +Junk
Artefacts are errors that occur when a card is pushed too hard, these can manifest as missing textures, grainy effects on models and other errors.
When overclocking, if you start seeing artefacts then it is an indicator that you have reached the maximum overclock and it is then advisable to down clock about 10MHz from that maximum and call it a day.
As for unlocking extra goodies, only earlier releases of the 6800NU were successful in opening the 4 extra pipelines and 1 extra vertex shader. Later versions do not work and only unlock the extra vertex shader.Comment

You can only unlock pipelines on the AGP versionComment

Re: 6800 OC +Junk
Guys, i got my evga 6800 128mb card yesterday(newegg) and of course i got all the crap everyone is dealing with (studdering,lag,etc).I was able to unlock it and go to 16 pipes. I Read a few posts on Guru 3D.com that stated my card will not overclock however, I Must tell you I d-loaded Coolbits played around with a few settings and was able to O'Clock it. I Went from 325 core 700 memory to 355 core 740 memory no artifacts(still testing the limits).
While testing for artifacts i noticed crazy improvments. I only have 768mb so when i spawn in theres a bit of lag then everything clears up. I was able to Snipe a enemy who was in a hovering helo, head shot. i could have never done that before....and yes im getting more memory.
For those looking to unlock extra pipes here you go.http://www.overclock.net/showthread.php?t=14685Comment
