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.

Ok now how do I turn my 2070s into a 5090? 😅
Get 500 dollars then use AI to generate the other 3/4 of the money and buy a 5090.
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.
My 2070 is still treating me pretty well!
Mine too except for 3440x1440 with 144Hz possible. I hardly get that resolution and refresh rate on higher demanding games
3440?
Yeah my mistake
Yeah same, but I only have a 1440p monitor, and I can barely tell the difference after 90hz, anyhow.
This would be more like 2070 to 2080
I know it was a joke
