Hi everyone,

I have read on the internet that this gpu can be unlocked to 8gb. There is even a 4gb sticker covering 8gb on the box. Can you help me do it please. GPU-Z screenshot and link to the GPU included.
If i mess up the flash, can i just flip the BIOS switch on the GPU and it will work?

If the card physically has the Ram chips then it should be possible.
Also as long as you don't flash both Bioses, flipping the switch should allow the card to function normally in case the flash goes wrong.
