Overckocking, Unlocking: Asus 6800XT (AGP)

[cossack4ever]

Hello,

I have just bought an Asus 6800XT, 128MB (AGP). I need some help in overlocking it and unlocking pipelines and vertex shaders.

The original specs in this video card is 8 Pipelines and 4 Vertex Shaders, but i have recently unlocked 4 more pipelines and 1 more vertex shader, upgrading my card to 12 pipelines and 5 vertex shaders. Everything is running perfect, no artifacts on the screen!

I want to know if i am able to raise the pipelines to 16 and vertex shaders to 6, is it safe?

Also the engine speed is 300MHz and memory speed is 700MHz, should i raise it a bit?

Thanks,

Cossack

If you unlock the rest of the pipes and get artifacts just revert back. You dont have to worry about permenant damage unless you flash the bios. Software mods are pretty safe.

err you should probably have posted this in the video card section BTW

Let us know how it works if you try unlocking the rest. I have a co-worker that has the same card as you and he was telling the me that he wasn't pleased with its performance.

He said he'd try overclocking it but if he could unlock some extra vertex shaders or pipelines that would help him out alot.
