I found this tidbit on X-bit labs, after reading earlier taht a german shop had posted complaints about the 6800gt's it recieved actually having plain 6800 GPU's on the cards..robbing buyers of 4 pipes and one vertex shader. Seems now MSI has admited wrongdoing, and will replace cards of those who confirm thier 6800gt's are plain 6800's.
MSI lays blame on Nvidia supplying them only pci-e chips that have that configuration. Only pic-e cards are affected.
Anyone who bought a PCI-E 6800gt in germany best check out thier cards!
