I was play with riva tuner today and i started clicking stuff. One of the things i clicked on came up with a warning that said "may make your card die then light on fire and kill stuff", so what did i do? Clicked it. Looking further i realized what this allowd me to do. Riva tuner currently says that my card has 24pipelines and 7 vertex shaders. When i enabled the 8th one all i got was artifacts. Is this possible? Is there anyway to check to see if it really has all 24 pipelines??

well i've been doing some reserch and i apparently activaded pipelines the same way you would anyother card. I also read that you cant unlock them. But if you cant then why did i get artifacts in 3dmark until i disabled the extra vertex shader?

After Comparing bench marks i have concluded that i did not unlock pipelines. i ran 3d mark05 and pulled 8139 and after "unlocking" the pipelines was 8178. They are almost identical.
