Question Can a graphics card work without a memory chip

[hubabuba100]

I have a R9 390 8GB video card. It was very cheap, because it was not tested before. When I powered on the PC with the graphics card, the screen have straight lines. When I took it apart, I saw that one memory chip is missing. I contacted with a BGA reballer, and He said that is unrepairable, because the PCB is damaged when someone removed the chip. My question is that I can force somehow the graphics card to operate with less memory and work fine?

Nope looks like you bought an damage none working gpu that way it was so cheap. Always check before you buy used GPU and such dont go ahead and buy it because its so cheap because you never know.

If there is PCB damage than there probably isn't much you can do.
