Brand new EVGA 6800GS AGP

[Sheik Yerbouti]

I'm getting artifacts when I try to unlock the pipes. I have read that this is purely hit or miss, but I was hoping there would be a fix for this someplace. I am using the 84.20 drivers. Any help would be appreciated, and it is SO nice to see so much more details in games.

Is this the EVGA super clocked (i.e. 400mhz) or standard? I've heard of some unlocking the pipes and then they can't overclock very well. If yours is at 400mhz then turning down the mhz on the gpu or memory may help.

Or you can try just enabling the pipeline and not the shader or vice versa. Some have reported that has stopped artifacts.

My BFG unlocked fine but I'm keeping it at stock speeds (370 / 1050).

Thanks, marked that for some nice reading at home. Didn't know that Rivatuner sets the fan speed slower. WTF...
