Modding a 7800gs with G71 core, is it possible??

hello everyone!!
I own a Nvidia 7800GS AGP, factory overclocked version (maybe a better quality chip??) which mounts the G70 (standing to your GPU database), and i'm wondering if it could be possible to unlock the additive pipes and to make her become a 7800GTX with all pipes on, so is there a hard mod to do?? or maybe a softmod ;) ???, thank you please reply

bye fellas

hi, and thanks for fast reply, but i'm looking for a way to UNLOCK the additive PIPES/ROPS/vertex, to make my 7800GS a fully 7800GTX, with all the pipes unlocked, i'm not looking for a voltmod, my card is already enough overclocked; so please tell me if there's a tool or some chip-modification, or maybe a particular BIOS and/or driver to enable all the pipes on the chip (which is a G70, the same that GTX has got)
thanks anyway,
wating for you!!!! byezzz
 
I think I've read somewhere that there's no way whatsoever to unlock pipes.. I'm not sure though, but kinda confident. ;)
 
There is no possible way to unlock the core on the 7800gs. They are all laser cut into the core so there is no way you can unlock the pipes with software. I'm quite sure of this because I've researched for quite a while. Also, do not use the mod from vr-zone if you are planning to volt mod the core. There's a high possibility it could ruin your card! Their memory volt mod however actually works, so you can try that out if you want.
 
hello there, i've found an incredible news about my card, yesterday installing rivatuner 2.01 i found that it said G71 card!!! A2 16/6 NOT G70!!, so i've the G71 on my card (it's a 7800GS AGP from bfg), and i'm quite sure of this, because i had flashed it with a modded bios and set to 1.2V the 3D performance core voltage, and i've easily achieved 570MHz core (400 original) and 1420MHz (DDR3 memory), with absolutely no artifacts or any extreme high temperature value!!!!, the only question is that rivatuner says G71 core with 16/6 enabled pipes (not 24/8 :( ) and i'm asking you if there's a way to unlock these additive pipes on my G71 (which should have 24/8 functioning pipes!!)
thanks again and greetings!!

Try to use rivatuner to unlock the pipelines, it has a build in function to do this.
 
:( :( already tried!!! with that rivatuner (2.01) i try to unlock the pipes but after reboot it says 256bit G71 16/6 !!!, i've read around that maybe next version of rivatuner could find and remove the masking from the G71; i'm now looking for a 7900GS AGP BIos FIle (new card with unlocked G71 GPU).... if some of you could help me find it... i'll be thankful!!!! :ohwell:
what sounds me strange is that my card has a G71 core, and there should be a way to unlock it, maybe with artifacts, but unlocked!! do some of you knows an alternativce tool for soft-unmasking the pipes for the G71??? or maybe do you have a more recent version of rivatuner for me???
please help!!
thanks anyway :cool:
 
there are a lot of g71 cards that can't be unlocked, nvidia has been using physical cuts more and more recently

i have never seen a 7900gs, which uses the g71 core, unlock

in fact that was a bid discussion on that here a while ago
