Modifying My 6800NU: Risky But Worth It!

Click For Summary
The successful modification of a 6800NU graphics card involved unlocking additional pixel pipelines and vertex shaders, increasing performance from 12 pixel pipelines and 5 vertex shaders to 16 pixel pipelines and 6 vertex shaders. This process, executed using Rivatuner 2.0 RC 15.2, carries risks of permanent hardware damage and voids the warranty. Despite these risks, the mod resulted in improved speed for the video card. Additionally, it is suggested to consider upgrading the cooling system, such as using a VGA silencer, to manage the increased heat output from the overclocked hardware.

I modded my 6800NU from 12 pixel pipels/5 vertex shaders to 16 pixel pipelines/6 vertex shaders. It's a bit risky and can pernamantly damage hardware but I took that risk and the mod was sucessful.
I used Rivatuner 2.0 RC 15.2. I may have gotten rid of my warranty but at least my video card is faster. :)

Very Nice, but maybe you might want to look into a better cooler.
vga silencer perhaps.

Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'

I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
