NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Memory-Modded with 16GB

I hope a board partner honors this guy like EVGA did for Kingpin and released the Kingpin Edition.

780 Ti did have a 6GB model. No modification needed

As for the 3070 modification. This may have come about as 14 and 16GB cards were originally planned by Nvidia before they changed their mind and killed them off. Thus the code still exists for those variants in the bios

I thought his 2070 project was on a whim, but the existing variants might have gave him that extra nudge-nudge.

Even googling "zotac 780 ti 6gb" doesn't result to any reviews or anything. Might as well be a typo on that product page as it simply wasn't a released card. Maybe a prototype/ES exists, dunno. A non-Ti 6GB variant though does exists, wonder could it be modified using a Ti chip..

Try not using crappy google maybe ? https://www.zotac.com/us/product/graphics_card/gtx-780-ti-amp

Maybe it wasn't, you know that for sure as they still have it listed on their site, how ever i only see a box of a 3GB but the specs say 6GB.

That's what I said in my post as it may be a typo or a placeholder. Nevertheless, a 780 Ti 6GB was never released (at least to the public).

That's hardcore enthusiast. Someone's not afraid to take risks of destroying his card. I wonder how he figured out what straps to modify.

I can bet you anything the only reason the guy isn't afraid of taking such risks with his card is because he's got $$$. He probably doesn't have to fret over the risk of screwing up his GPU when he can just as easily acquire a new one.

3070 appeared
> Miners bought them all
> VRAM damaged by mining
> Change them to 16GB
> Continue mining

RTX 3070 done right

Looking at his Phoenix Miner window, his hashrate is lower than my 3070. Not sure why but the extra ram isn't helping with that. With the 2070 he did he actually got worse benchmarks. Probably needs a hefty BIOS mod.

Props to this guy.

And more things like this please!

As long as you have enough vram to run it, more ram won't help. Faster ram, however, will...

Yep. Just need enough ram to cover the minimum DAG.

This guy neither enthusiast nor overclocker, he is repair service man.

people modding NVIDIA cards with more Vram tells you that they are not satisfied with the amount of vram on there 3000 series cards aside from the 3090 and 3060

Nope, it's an experiment.
Otherwise, why upgrade memory of 2070?

Could be. Only problem right now is that these cards are hard to find.

 

[Jism]

Now this is my type of techy. Man that is really interesting and scary at the same time.

It makes you think of what could have been possible

It's done since the very early days, buying EDO ram that had a PCB with double-sided but only adressed one single side. Few modders managed to double the capacity by adding chips to the other side. Or a 3DFX voodoo II 8MB that was upgraded to 12MB.

You cant just slap extra memory on that, you have to have controller and bios support. Otherwise it won't work. I wonder tho if you could replace the existing modules with even faster ones.

As long as they are within specs and brand, why not.

There was never any Gtx 780 Ti 6 gig card , there was in fact a Gtx 780 6 gig card i should know because I have one in my spare pc right now. Purchased in 2014. The the cards were offered when the R9 290 came out with 4 gigs of ram to one up Amd. I wanted to go Amd at the time and was debating between the 2 but sided with Nvidia because I was studying 3d modeling at the time and everything used cuda.
