X800XL made by ATI

[AAvK]

X800XL made by ATI is my vid-card, bought it for current generation of games and

more powerfor older Q-III based games, which is a lot.


Curious about the 16 pixel pipelines that it has, is it possible to open up more
of them with a utility?

Nope, no more. 16 pixel pipelines are the most you are gonna get out of the
X800XL.

Well, no one else answered meaning you got it right, thanks.

Make no mistake. 16 pipelines are the most you'll get out of *any* ATi card,
X1900s included. The principle difference between your card and the
higher-end ones are clock speed and number of pixel shader units.

Cool thanks. So far it has been a really great card for the latest, doom3 and quake4,
and older war games like cod-uo. Though I get the impression PP are mostly what
people are paying for, quality of graphics. This card replaced a Ti4600 with it's 4 PP,
but as well, much more speed and graphics capability. I paid $50 less. Think ATI
should look at the competition again?
