This is rather odd or maybe it's just that it's been a while since I've used Rivatuner. I'm looking at the Graphics Subsystem Diagnostic Report and it's reporting 12 pipes on a 6800 ultra that I purchased?

Under the main setting of Riva it says

Am I missing the bus here or what?
:)

Make sure to remove from the registry any previous riva settings, un-installing the proggy doesnt' work everytime apparently.
