7800gs CO

[Maxspeed996]

I've not seen anything on here , but talk about it....does anyone know of anyone successfully unlocking 4 more pipes on this card? This is the AGP version that I'm talking about btw....
If we haven't had any luck unlocking any more pipes , or there are none to unlock. What are some of the best overclocks you've acheived with this card?

I don't think it can be done. Well I've not heard of anyone doing it.

The only GS I've seen with 20 pipes is the Gainward one, and thats really a GT anyway.

Yea , I found just one thread so far that showed they (Nvidia) has made it pretty difficult to unlock pipes anymore...but with the 4 less pipes , that means less heat , which should equal out to this card being really overclockable.
I bought the EVGA 7800gs CO Superclock , and now that I'm looking at the 7800gs CO ....which is $50 cheaper , and is only 20mhz slower core and like 30 mhz slower memory.... Makes me wonder if I should have done some more research before I spent my money. I'm happy with the card , it does everything I want it to do , and then some. It's sweet.....but $50 less for the same , or better performance nags at my soul.....

I've got the vanilla EVGA 7800gs running at 463 and 1350

And are you running the stock cooler? Have you looked at other options of cooling?

It's not possible to unlock the extra pipes on a 7800 GS, since nVIDIA laser-cut the disabled pipes.
