    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 get faster 3dMark scores by overclocking without unlocking pipe and vertex shader. Does that mean I should just overclock without unlocking? Why am I unable to overclock with the pipe and vertex shader unlocked?

    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?

    Radeon 9100 64mb showing up as 250/160 in RivaTuner?

    I will try AtiTool when I get home. RivaTuner said it was a radeon 9100 R160 I believe, or was it R200? Does R160 exist? At stock 250/160, 3DMark2001 SE scored 8000 and at 280/210, it scored 9250 on my Athlon 2500+ Barton.

    Radeon 9100 64mb showing up as 250/160 in RivaTuner?

    The highest RivaTuner will allow me to go is 240 for the memory, but there is a lot of pixelation and inconsistency when I go up to 220.

    Radeon 9100 64mb showing up as 250/160 in RivaTuner?

    My Radeon 9100 64mb is showing up as 250/160 in RivaTuner. I thought Radeon 9100 64mb were supposed to be 250/230 or at least 250/200. Does anyone else's Radeon 9100 show 250/160? Do I actually have a 8500LE or something?
