hi
just bought a geforce 6800gs from ocuk and read this review .......
("Very nice card does the job very well and this uses the NV core that can be unlocked via the NV Strapdriver with RivaTuner, which means you can get the full 16 pipelines anf the extra shader unit active.

This card shows up as a 6800GT in my bios.")

could anyone please explain how to use the rive tuner to unlock it to a 6800gt please?

many thanks indeed

cheers
 
You need a program called RIVATUNER

If you search these forums or google, there are loads of how to's for unlocking the cards, fairly easy process. but be warned, not ALL cards will unlock successfully, if you get artifacts lock the pipes again immediatly as you risk damaging your card :)

Good luck

Ben

Nope, the reading in the BIOS if like the badge on the back of the car. The only way to test that it has fully worked is to 3d mark before and after.

You can flash the BIOS if you really want, but you risk borking the card for very little gain. Just use rivatuner and enjoy your new speeds.
