GF6600GT recognized as 6800XT (possibility of damage?)

[phrgarek]

ok, i'll try to be short...i installed Daryna 4.0 KDE CE, also installed nvidia drivers for my Gigabyte GF6600GT silent pipe...i started installation through Envy system, and after i chose automaticaly setting configuration...restarted machine, and on the next boot everything worked awesome, i had normal refresh rate, resolution, all fine. But, when i checked the settings for graphic card in system settings-->peripherals, as default my graphic card is recognized and set as GF6800XT, but in nvidia settings as correct 6600GT, so i'm wondering, i dunno, according to fine display configuration(refresh rate, resolution), i have no other graphic problems, maybe those two cards has some commonly characteristics, and 6600 share same configuration... but, when i set conf. for card as nvidia 6 series in settings, on next boot, i loose 3D acceleration, yeah! so my question is, if i leave this alone, settings as 6800XT, could this damage graphic card??

No it won't damage your card as long as you run it within it's limits and this is just "giving names" - it does not affect anything I think
Interesting I have a 6600GT too (but Gainward). In peripherals it is nv, but in nvidia settings it's 6600GT as well as in xorg.conf
