Thumbs Down! MSI selling 6800NU as 6800GT

[quote="techPowerUp!]MSI sold lower grade NX6800GT-T2D256E (PCI-E) to customers. The affected cards have only 12 Pipelines and 5 Vertex Units . . .

The missing pipelines greatly affect performance, in 3DMark2003 for example, by over 10%. . .

When we tried to unlock the Pipelines with Rivatuner we experienced massive artifacts which lets us think that either wrong GPU chips were used by accident, or that MSI is using cheaper lower-grade chips. . .

In case you bought such a card we recommend returning it to your retailer. Do not try to unlock the pipelines or overclock the card (both makes you lose your warranty). Also make sure to verify that you are affected by this pipeline issue before returning your card.[/quote]
