Opening Pipes on x 1600 XT

Dmac43 · Sep 12, 2006, 04:08 PM

Good morning all, I was wondering if it is possible to enable 16 Pipes on the x1600xt.
If so how can it be done?
Will doing this cause the crossfire properties of the 1600 not to function properly?

Thanks

There is no way this can happen.

The card is implicitly just a 12 pipe card, its an entirely different core... not like some X800Pro's had X800XT cores underneath or anything.

The only way to get 16 pipes is to buy a 16 pipe card.
