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.
 
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?
