    EVGA 6800, can unlock pipes, can't overclock core when pipes unlocked?

    I locked the pipe and left the vertex shader (12/1/6) and the core overclocks. I locked the vertex shader and unlocked the pipe (16/1/5) and the core doesn't overclock even though RivaTuner shows 400. Here are my 3DMARK03 and 3DMARK05 scores: 12/1/5 (325/700) 8279/3471 16/1/6 (325/700)...

    EVGA 6800, can unlock pipes, can't overclock core when pipes unlocked?

    I disabled the clock test and am able to overclock now, but for some reason, the core is not overclocking. I overclocked the core to 400mhz and it still shows 325mhz in 3DMARK03. The memory overclock to 850mhz is showing up in 3DMARK03 properly. I tried to change the core to 340mhz and it...

    EVGA 6800, can unlock pipes, can't overclock core when pipes unlocked?

    Qbackin, I'm able to unlock to 16 pipes and 6 vertex shaders without any problems. I'm not able to overclock or underclock after unlocking though. Is it a RivaTuner issue?

    Sapphire 9600XT refurb bad?

    When returning to Newegg, I suppose they won't reimburse shipping cost so I'll have to eat them? I hope the next card is good,..otherwise, I'll have to keep eating shipping costs! I was going to return for refund, but noticed that there is a 15% re-stocking fee?
