vram mod in bios

[Timofn]

hi, i was wondering what would happen if you modded a gpu bios so it can mine coins that need more vram. Does this work or not?

Well, you can't add VRAM to a GPU, so if the mining program needs more than the GPU has, it will either crash or slow down, depending on how well the mining program was written. My guess is it would crash.

even if you would mod it to let it think it has more vram?

You can't fake what isn't there.

Ever seen videos of counterfeit video cards playing games that demand more than what the GPU physically has?
