I just got my ew 6800. I would liek to open up the shader and pipes but when I open up CS:S is artifacts. Could there be a driver issue? I'm using nvidia omega 1.6177. I did run all the normal driver cleaners and stuff after uninstalling the old drivers. I thne installed the new card and new drivers.
 
I did use omega and I just tried nvidia 71.84 b/c i heard its a good driver. made the fan quieter at least.
 
Is it OC'ed by anychance? Or did you do any voltage modding with it? If so, try running it at Stock Speed + Voltage. If it is stock speed + voltage, probably theres some heat issues :S

Oh sorry you misunderstood. It's not Oced or anything. It doesnt artifact. However when I use riva tuner to unlock the pipes and shader it artifacts. I knwo it's jsut a plus to unlock them but if there is any other known way they might unlock i would liek to know. Thanx anyways.
 
Umm...
Ok let me explain more. I just got my 6800nu. I tried to unlock the pipes and shader. When I have themn unlocked I get artifacting. When the are locked I have no artifacting. I want to knwo if I can unlock them with different drivers or sumthin or I just have one that is not going to be able to be unlocked.
 
if you get artifacts when you unlock, then i think you're stuck with 12 pipes for good ;)
 
There is a thing on the bios that tells you if you can unlock. Mine was different from everybody elses. Theirs would say 12v1 or southin or 16v1 and mine said "none"
COmpletely different from otheres. Now I'm finding other peopel have this too but we don't knwo what it means.
 
I just recently installed a bfg 6800 oc. I unlocked it easily with the Rivatuner. I get good performance with all pixel pipes open, but sticky performance with the additional shader on locked. Try closing the shader and going to 66.93 drivers. :cool:
 
Well I went into riva tuner and go a weird BIOS

$ffffffffff NVIDIA VGA BIOS information
$ffffffffff ---------------------------------------------------
$1100000000 Title : nv40 p212 sku0 VGA BIOS

$1100000003 SW masked units : none



THis link tells you if it can be unlocked.

As it says NOTE:
1 - if the info shows 12x1,6vp u may be able to enable only the 4 extra pipelines;
2 - if it shows 16x1,5vp u may be able only to enable the extra vertex processor;
3 - if it shows 12x1,5vp u may be able to enable everything

AND mine shows "$1100000003 SW masked units : none"

None does NOT look like 16x1,5vp
:(
 
ill quit bumping if i could please get some help. I tried google and no help.
