Default RivaTuner and 7xxx

Does RivaTuner support the 7xxx cards yet? Specifically the 7600GS? Last time i tried it wasnt fully supported, so i couldnt try to unlock vertex shaders or pipes. Does anyone know if it supports it yet?

The 7600GS does not have the extra locked pipes, the cards are 12x5 and they cannot be hard nor softmodded to anything above that.

I dont think it does. The newest version doesnt even "officialy" support current nvidia drivers. But as tweaker said there's nothing to unlock.

I was wondering, can anything be done to my 7800GT in Rivatuner?

I have Rivatuner but all I know is how to overclock, change fan speeds, change some basic settings, etc. I don't know how to unlock all this stuff.

I don't think so, I remember reading something that said they did something so that you can't softmod them.
