Hello everyone! Just joined Tom's Hardware!
I need advanced advice from any Tech who has dealt with components of graphics cards. I have bought two Nvidia GTX 760's 2GB with an SLI Bridge for $120. Not a bad deal at all. But that is not my true intention to use these graphic cards as is. I bought them for a theory of mine, which seems plausible.
The vram chipset/PCB for the Nvidia GTX 760 comes in 2GB & 4GB styles. But... Nvidia basically made the PCB board in one style, only difference is that one has 2GBs and one has 4GBs. On the 2GBs the prefix for the other 4 VRam clots are empty but 100% seems like if I bought the Hynix vram and soldered them on, technically I would have 4GBs of vram. The same amount of capacitors and cells are equal on either card. The only thing I know i might have to do is flash the bios and reinstall for the updated configuration.
So my question if anyone has tried this or can weigh in on it? Greatly appreciated.
Love to be a member.
