6800GS AGP unlockable to 6800GT AGP?
as we all may or may not know, the "new" 6800GS for AGP comes with pretty much the same specs as the 6800GS PCI-E, 'cept for the fact that its core is slower.
meaning they both have 12 pixel pipelines and 5 vertex shaders. i've just read a post on the guru3d forums that claims (and posts screenshots, in italian albeit, but still...) that you can unlock the additional 4 pixel pipelines and vertex shader using the venerable rivatuner utility, and thus turning the 6800GS AGP into a 6800GT AGP. now, what i want to know, is if anyone else hear about this? or is this some sort of fake hoax or something like that... cause i know that the PCI-E 6800GS' cant unlock additional pipes, but that's probably because they PCI-E version uses the "new" NV42 core and the AGP version uses the "older" NV40... so... in short.... any comments from you people? ![]() edit: here's the link to the thread on guru3d http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?threadid=164867

if the 6800gs agp is based off the nv40 instead of the nv42 then it might be possible to mod it into a 6800gt.
