I read some reviews that suggesed that it may be possible to unlock this from 12 pipelines to 16? Can anyone shed some light on this. I this in fact possible and is it possible on the 256mb AGP version?

Thanks,
Bac0n

That one's a Powercolor, I'm not sure if that one unlocks. I can tell you that I have a Sapphire X800GTO 256mb AGP card that I've unlocked to 16 pipes, and gained a nice performamce increase. I think it's this one.

Then, have a read of this and check out what to do. It's pretty easy. There are a lot of pages though.

My guess is that the Powercolor you linked to won't unlock, but that the Sapphire I linked to will.
