Breakthrough I was able to open up my pixel pipes to 16, the only downside is, every once in awhile I will see a little bit of snow in the center of the screen. If I am playing FEAR, or something, with all the action, I never notice the snow, good enough for me.

Well i got the card today and as it turns out it was a PNY verto 6800 GS so yea i was a little disappointed but it didnt end there either it seems i have a 12pp 6vp card as i get artifacts on the desktop pretty hardcore when i enable the masked quad but i was wondering if i got the card to run cooler would that make a difference? and also if i wasnt getting enough juice from my PSU would that make a difference? i currently have a 450W no name PSU that has servered two builds faithfully i had it in a Atlon XP 2800+ and my Athlon 64 3000+ and it runs fine but could it be a weak link possibly?

Now, about your Athlon 64 3000+ goes, I am an Intel guy, so I don't know if your CPU is a weak link or not, I doubt it, if you are overclocking it, then it should be fine.

I think your CPU is fine... As far as your card goes, Deadman said it right....But there is nothing stopping you from OCing it till it screams.. You should still get a decent gain just from a good OC....

Klick, you might want to think about getting an Arctic Cooling NV5 rev.3, they are pretty cheap, and cool quite well. On my 6800GS, I'm getting an idle temp of 48c, and a heavy load temp of 65c. The NV5 is bulky, it is about an inch high, so you will need an open PCI slot under your video card, it also vents out the back, it comes with a bracket to put in the slot under the card, anyways, they the NV5 is pretty cool(no pun intended). ![]()

Bugger! I searched around for a great card and assumed wrongly that I could open the 4 pipes on my new XpertVision GS6800 but I get the same swissarmyknight, the extra pipes do not come up as masked, theres nothing there. I am assuming that I have one another of those rare NV42 core cards..NOT HAPPY JAN! Do you reckon they'll take it back? I can only try.

You really can't, and shouldn't. There is nothing wrong with NV42s at all. They overclock extremely well, which makes up for the lack of unlockable pipes.

Hello. I'm all new in this. I'll try to be short. I have a Palit GF6800GS, 256 MB GDD3 and RivaTuner "says" that I have an N41 chip. The core is 450 and the mems are 1257 Mhz (that 57 is "my work", playing with the sliders). And Riva also "said" that I don't have that "extra-tricky" bits. 1. Why NV41? 2. Why "no tricky bits"? Thank you a lot. And pardon me for the bad english. Catalin

NV41 because Palit is a cheaper brand, thats trying to cut costs by using NV41 chips instead of better NV40/NV42 chips. No tricky bits because that particular core only has 12 pipes at a hardware level.
