Wow, this is something I have not seen before. I just bought a 6800nu a couple weeks ago and I have been having probelms ocing it because I unlocked it when I first got it and supposely you have to oc before you unlock.

Anyway, I just went into the omega driver/nview tab to check out my temps and they were missing... So I decided to see if I can OC and it passedthe test (which it never did before) and i manged to get up to 350/800 while passing the test. So I went into everest to see if my gpu went up to 350 and it says it did, than I looked a couple lines down and saw that I had only 12 pipe unlocked which was so stange, considering I unlocked the extra 4 and 1 vertec shader about a week and a half ago.

how could this happen?

I also just went into rivatuner and just to see why my pipes and my vertex shader got locked and it it shows that they are only 12/5 but when I go to the edit area they seen to be at 16/6. I did not hit the reinstall tab yet either. Did my card just decide to lock up by itself? I did not update or touch any settings since than either...

well anyway, I locked the ipes back up manualy and I am able to OC but the thing that gets me mad is that it ends up resetting after a little bit, Like if the comp is restarted or my father logs onto his account on this pc.
