Unlocking GeForce 6800 from 12 pipes to 16 pipes... yes or no?

[TrojanAaron]

Debating whether to do it... appreciate your input if you've already done it.

it's about 50/50 everything works. 75% vertex shader works and 62.5% a pixel pipe quad works.

Yes about 1 in 2 for 6800 to full 16/6, and 1 in 4 for 6800le at least (i have both)

I have a PNY 6800NU
Unlocked no problems for me. Have not tried overclocking it yet

My vertex works but my pixel doesnt...so im at 12/6 at 365/780 on the OC...I havent gotten any artifacts yet either..got eVGA



edit: now up to 380/860

No vertex unit for me but pipes are good.

Try it. From everything that I've read, you have nothing to lose. If it doesn't work, go back and lock them out again. I have a 6800le that I have unlocked to 16/5 with amazing results.

Somewhere, there is a pretty long thread with a lot of success rate results, I think.

Do a search next time, there was a poll before, yuou will also find the answer posted several times.

Worked perfectly.
