Hi folks,
I purchased one of those $70 (after MIR and tax) eVGA AGP 6800 video cards at Circuit City. The first one I bought, I could unlock only 1 of the pipes (12v/6p) without artifacting. In Riva Tuner it shows those pipes are Hardware masked.
I picked up a second card and now the pipes on this card are NOT Hardware masked, just disabled. I enabled both pipes (16v/6p) and no artifacting.
Since this second card has no hardware masking, is it a true 6800GT in a sense? Other than the DDR1 memory? I OC'd the card to 378/785 and the results in 3dMark 05 is 4476. Is this close to a 6800GT?
