Flash 1050 ti to 1650, Is it possible?

I've bought 1050 ti in march 2018 and the experience was pretty good, than with a few nvidia driver updates and a few new games I'm running every game in 1080p in 60fps but with the lowest settings except the resolution, so it got me thinking should it be possible to flash the card to 1650. I know it might sound stupid and is there any way to increase the performance without upgrading the graphics card (i've already overclocked it to the limits).

Gigabyte 1050ti G1

i5 8400

8gb ram 2666

750w bronze power supply

 

Hoping that I can get some help from you mates, Thanks!

This is the equivalent of asking "can I download more RAM from the internet?"

I'd recommend you get the ASUS Strix 1650 bios.

^- Ignore this guy, you can't flash 1650 BIOS on a 1050 without bricking it.

Nvidia cards aren’t like AMD cards where you can do a simple bios flash and make it perform a lot better. I’m pretty sure that was only a thing for like the RX 480->580.

Yeah. RX580 BIOS onto a 480, RX570 BIOS onto a 470. That's because those are very slightly tweaked versions of the same GPU, whereas the 1650 and 1050 Ti are different GPUs.
