You need a vivo card to enable the 16 pipes. the ones that have a yellow connector near the power input.

I was just wondering, did you continue to test the speed of the 6800GT as you stepped it up to 450mhz core? Reason I am asking is because from what I've heard even with watercooling scores actually start to go down after 435-440mhz due to clock throttling from lack of power since the GT has only one molex unlike the Ultra.

And I wonder why Tim hasn't looked at the possibility of increasing the core voltage on the GT, seems a bit unfair compared to the means used with the X800PRO, cos without the aid of the extra voltage the frecuency growup would've been much lower.

Why have they stopped using the "HIghly anticipated DX) games"?

Nice review. Esp HW PS details.
6800GT is an excellent package for Nvidia this time 'round. Of course it should've been tested against its "16-pipe" analog, X800-XT ($399), which is to be released soon. This is now selling as an X800-Pro VIVO & easily modifiable - as mentioned by 1. Not to be confused with X800-XT PE.
The reason the clever Xbit people didn't mod the 6800GT is that by increasing VCore or VDM, the card's trigger level is reached earlier than at default V, so OC performance is actually lower...;) This restriction is PS related as the GT only has a single molex...
The results were also interesting esp given the comments re:ATI's "nasty" filtering options(less?), given FW 61.34 AF/tex filtering "quirks". I also wonder why a 6800GT performs well with only 8 color ROPs having blend ability vs 12/16 for the X800-Pro/XT...? Bandwidth limited so it doesn't matter? I guess that's why "16 pipe" ATI boards are faster.
P.S. Cat 4.7 also have numerous bizarre bugs due to compiler, but given you didn't really test PS2, I guess it doesn't matter...
4. You are too cynical...:)

I don't think you can change anything external to make it to 16 pipelines.
As ATI and nVidia use internal fuses like Laser fuse or eletrical fuse to determine the no. of pipelines during wafer sort at test house.
These fuses are blown either by a laser or electrically in the chip.

There's no need to use a VIVO X800 pro for modding , a normal X800 pro can be modded,
look at this link - its say all

Type in "X800 Pro UNLOCK" @ Google and find methods to unlock all 16 pipelines and overclock your card to an X800 XT PE.
