hy,
i have the same card (gainward 6800gs/512mb/agp) and i think that this card does not have additional pipelines you can enable.
if you look at this:

then on my card at bit 3 and 13 the "description" field says N/A, "state" is empty and "HW Masked" is empty too.
i think the reason is because this card has the NV42 chip included and not the old NV40. thats why it supports shader model 3 etc...
can someone confirm this or am i doing something wrong?
edit: oh and matt: to get rid of your problem reboot windows in vga mode (hit F8 before the loading screen) and change the settings back in rivatuner.
