Flashing standard RTX to Super

Hi,

I wonder if in theory you could flash an RTX 2080 to RTX 2080 super ?

This is suppose could work for the 2060 & 70 models too ?

What has Nvidia been like in previous generation restriction ?

It would be impossible for you to flash a 2070 to a 2070 super since they are using completely different dies. So not sure where this logic is coming from and your source is probably just trolling you.

As for the 2060 flashing I highly doubt Nvidia would let you. They are smarter than that and 99% likely lasered out the faulty dies.

Hi,

I wouldn't say it was logic or being trolled - curiosity if anything =00=.

I see. In this case if they are using a different die then it would be impossible.

Would be great if it was possible - would give their original buyers a nice little boost and not make them feel as if they arn't being left out.

You're being left out. You can trust me.

You might be able to flash 2070 super to a 2080 (same die)

No Nvidia graphics cards come to mind when I think of GPU "unlocking". It's typically something that only worked with AMD kit.

Yeah NVidia usually fuses off their cores(Physically destroys the connections in silicon essentially), AMD usually do too but for low cost chips AMD often save money by just disabling them in the BIOS. Generally, if cores are disabled(Fused or not) it's because most of the silicon made for that SKU has non-functional cores and they didn't consider it worthwhile making a separate SKU for the dies with full functionality, so even then it's just pot luck whether an "unlock" would work.

Of course, NVidia has used the same TU106 die for the RTX2060, RTX2060S and RTX2070 now, the differences lie purely in what they fuse off[Though for the OG-2060 the fusing off of some of the memory bus also meant some PCB/memory changes], so from a market perspective they can't really leave the possibility open for unlocking.

GTX 465 to 470 though they soon put a stop to that and the FX5900 - 5950u come to mind.
