Hi, this is a quick post before I go to bed but I wanted to make sure of something before I break my graphics card (my pc usually "has an accident" when I'm tired )
I have RivaTuner 2.06 and a BFG GeForce 6800GS OC. I know that the 6800 GS has the same core as the GT and that one block of pixel pipelines is disabled and one vertex unit is disabled, leaving you with 12 pixel pipelines and 5 vertex units (I did lots of research before buying the card).
What I want to know is, if I re-enable the disabled block of pixel pipelines or the extra vertex unit, would it be possible to damage my card/GPU?
I know that sometimes they're disabled because they're damaged so the core isn't up to being a GT model, but sometimes the disabled parts are perfectly fine and just disabled to be a GS model.
Replies from anyone who can give me any insight as to whether enabling these pipelines/vertexes could possibly damage my card would be greatly appreciated Thanks for reading.
