> It’s not going to become a common mod. It’s likely not even feasible for someone to offer as a service due to the risk involved in shipping expensive GPUs two ways and then reworking the PCB with hard to source chips that can’t necessarily be guaranteed to work at the exact speeds expected by the drivers. That's too bad. I prefer to buy a top-end graphics card once every 3 or 4 generations. I was up for a refresh with the 20-series, but the value was pretty bad so I waited. Now the 30-series looks great except for one glaring issue (aside from availability): VRAM capacity. With the imminent release of the direct storage API for Windows, I expect the 30-series cards will show their age much faster than previous generations thanks to their relatively small VRAM capacity compared to Radeon and game consoles.
