(my question is only regarding unlocking, not Overclocking at all)
ok, i have a agp 6800nu (not LE) card here.. and i was wondering...
Are there any risks involved when unlocking it from 12pipes to 16?
I know theres always a posiblity that once unlocked, one might experience artifacts... But If it has to be reverted back to 12pipes, is there a possibility that the artifacts will remain permanently?
...example - when you relock the extra pipes, might it possibly lock different pipes and might leave a bad one unlocked, but still only have 12pipes?
...and is unlocking software dependent? example - will it revert back to 12 if the HD is formatted?
...If there is no permanent risk involved... will all i need is Rivatuner?
