Is it possible to modify GPU's?

Theoretically yes but doing it is incredibly difficult and expensive. You could do some obscene power mods, install completely overkill coolers and even replace video memory modules with larger ones. Though you would need to write your own vbios, be able to do BGA soldering, source larger memory modules, create your own mounting for larger coolers, know how the power delivery system works, and after all that you could maybe do something like create an 8gb R9 Fury X that performs maybe 20% better than a stock fury x with 4gb of HBM2.


Thats why people don’t really bother with this, it’s not an easy task and unless you have a decent pre existing knowledge of how a gpu works and the circuitry of what you’re work on, it’s not worth even looking into.

Beyond obvious stuff like repasting, I wouldn't ever try this.

 

There are faster ways to throw $800 down a sewer.

I take it you hadn't bothered taking out that Ice Storm Extreme score.....

 

There's only 149 other submissions that have a higher score of all cards out there. Just a FYI there. (not a super popular benchmark I dont think)
