Upgrading (Flashing) the Nvidia RTX 3060Ti

Good evening from the UK,

I'm writing to ask what upgrades could be made to my 3060Ti ("Palit GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Dual 8GB"). Whilst it runs a little toasty, the fan curves out of the box are shocking, so there is headroom for potential overclocking. However, I'm led to believe that the 3060Ti is largely the same as a 3070, and after recalling watching an older LTT video whereby Linus & team flashed an upgraded model of card onto a lesser model of card to make it run as if it were the upgraded model, I believe there could be significant performance gains? I understand that this card has only been around less than 6 months, but I never doubt the ingenuity of one who specialises in IT!

So if you guys could at least point me in the direction of the video I'm thinking of, I'd be really greatful, but if you happen to know how to flash some swanky new software, then all the more reason to!

Thank you for your time,

Regards,

Dylan

Unlike AMD, Nvidia lasers down the chip to prevent those types of upgrades.

Yeah, don't do this on an nvidia card. You will brick the card.
