Unlocking extra pipes on 6800 GTO

[Deleted member 21895]

okay, so im about to order the dell 8400 with the 6800 GTO and from what I've heard it uses 12 pipes but that you can unlock the extra 4 to put it at 16? I've been trying to google it and from what I can tell if you know how to use Riva Tuner to unlock them... anyone have any ideas?

Yep, RivaTuner will do it. You set the 0 bits to 1 in the advanced portion of the software and that unlocks your pipes.

Older versions have a more simple drop-down list to do it.
