lol this reminds me of whatever that card was back in the 2000’s or so, where you could literally make a trace with a pencil to upgrade the version lower to the version higher.
Yeah, those were the days when cost control was simply to use the same PCB but with just the traces left out. There were also quite a few cards that used the exact same PCB, traces intact, that you could simple flash the next tier card’s BIOS and get significant performance bumps.
Did a few of those mods myself back in the day, those were fun times.

There were several GPUs and CPUs where that was true

Ok now how do I turn my 2070s into a 5090? 😅
My 2070 is still treating me pretty well!
Mine too except for 3880x1440 with 144Hz possible. I hardly get that resolution and refresh rate on higher demanding games
3440?
Yeah my mistake
This would be more like 2070 to 2080
I know it was a joke
Well of you ask Nvidia it’s now just the driver making frames for you.
Ya I’m sad to see and exit. Maybe in a year or two I’ll get that sapphire 7900 xtx or whatever it is.
Get 500 dollars then use AI to generate the other 3/4 of the money and buy a 5090.

I remember using the pencil trick on my old AMD Duron processor to unlock it. 🤣
