Just a quick one really, my mate decided on a 6800XT AGP (thanks to all who help persuade him) 
He opened the other 2 vertex shaders ok but the first pipeline he could unlock was damaged so he tried the second, the second shows no corruption during 3d mark 2005 or indeed Serious Sam2, Battlefield 2 is another story, very flaky errors - snowstormy to small flashing areas of grass/tank/sea etc.
Is the card done for on that pipeline? or is Battlefield 2 just being difficult and there is a conflict?
He's already ruled out the vertex shaders, they are fine.
