Nvidia‘s GeForce cards could be converted to Quadro cards by opening a chip and adding some lines with a pencil. Don’t think that this still works, but a colleague of my father did it for his home PC.
- eropple 9y agoOne line, AFAIK. It was just a trace. However, that (and the later software modification) could both hamper performance in games and could exhibit correctness problems in accuracy-focused use cases, so it was rarely a great idea.
