6800GS AGP unlocking...looks like it can be done

[Tim]

A guy from OCUk forums managed it with Rivatuner...

I dunno about the US or anywhere else, but they are in stock in the United Kingdom :)

pretty sweet...

It's supposed to use the NV40 so I don't see why not.

Yea, hopefully we can get some feedback in this thread from owners of this card, would be nice

[Willis]

Isn't it use on a 7800 pcb?

there are no 7800 agp's, so no

[Backbone]

It is something like 6800GE from Asus(12p) with DDR3.

The Asus 6800GE had GDDR3 as well so it is more or less identical.

16 pipelines are nice, how do they overclock though ? I seem to recall IBM 130nm did 450-475Mhz max on standard volts while the latest 110nm Pcie TSMC based ones seem to do up to 520-530Mhz

i did a search and the answer is yes :)

You need to supply some information or a link to back up your claim :)

Because it makes you look selfish whereas currently you look like you are just wrong and afraid to admit it.

Assuming there is a 7800AGP then it will still not use the same PCB, as your original post inferred, because the 7800 chip is native PCie and would require a bridge chip, whereas 6800GS is nv40 based and so native AGP, ie no bridge chip and not the same PCB.

no need for me to spoil some words on this :)


"With a 425MHz graphics core and 500MHz memory, NVIDIA's GeForce 6800 GS is well-equipped to take on the ATI RADEON X1600 XT. NVIDIA has even spiced up the package further by using the 7800 GT PCB and throwing on copper cooling, making this board ideal for even higher clock speeds. See how this new card performs in both single card and SLI configurations in today's latest titles inside. And of course, don't forget the overclocking!"

That would most likely be for 6800GS PCIe.

XFX GeForce 6800 GS 256 MB DDR3 8X AGP (http://www.xfxforce.com/web/product/listConfigurationDetails.jspa?productConfiguration Id=118067)

In stock at eVGA for $250 http://www.evga.com/products/moreinfo.asp?pn=256-A8-N387-TX

[DrJay]

Is that a 7800 pcb?

[Sampsa]

XFX 6800 GS AGP is pretty much the same as 6800 GT AGP. Just some locked pipes and lower clocks. I'm pretty sure Rivatuner can open the pipes and with little voltage bump should get the clocks up pretty nicely.

[zakelwe]

That would most likely be for 6800GS PCIe.

As it mentions SLi I think then likelyhood is approximately 100% Jay.

you are correct, as pci-e has 425mhz whereas agp has 350mhz core..
