Overclocking, 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

You should be able to use Coolbits to determine how far your card can OC. It has a nifty auto detect procedure. You may be able to go higher if you're willing to look for artifacts yourself by watching benchies.

As for the extra quad of pipes and vertex engine, it depends. Every die is different. They may work, they may not. Open em up, then run some intense benchies, and look for artifacts of lock ups. Also, be prepared for some extra heat as the added transistors come to life.

40% of the 6800LE can be unlocked
40% failure
20% cant　work after being unlocked

6800XT is almost impossible
