Unlocking 700 series to 780 Ti's -- Is it possible?

I heard from a friend of mine that there is a way to "jump" the PCB or something like that on Geforce GTX 700 cards to unlock them to 780 Ti, I have currently have a EVGA GTX 760 SC ACX 2.0 4GB, and was wondering if there is any tutorial of doing this, thanks! (He had a 750 which is now a 780 ti after he did this)

Sounds like bullshit to me.

An AMD cpu has no place in a solely gaming build, end of.

I3 4150, Intel HD graphics, corsair CX750M, 4gb ram, Asus H81M-E, corsair 230T, Intel stock cooler WD Green 2TB Gigabyte 550TI

Why you shouldn't trust Gpu or Cpu boss Click on this I dare you!

bullshit, he probably just changed the BIOS of the card

It simply changes the name. Your driver software will suddenly think it's a 780Ti.

It can potentially even break your drivers.

So, I wouldn't do it at all.

Um... What? There's no way to make a 750 a 780ti. They are very different cards.

He seems to be rather trustable person, known him for years, I am still looking, not turning up anything. But From my understanding they all use the same architechture, so I see it possible. Just like certain processors have unlockable cores after some work.

He's either lying or he flashed a 780 Ti BIOS which causes bad things to happen.

 

I accidentally flashed a non reference BIOS to my reference card and it would hit its boost clock and crashed every game in 10 seconds and flicked in device manager.

He said it requires doing something to the PCB and reflashing the card.

Yeah just no. The 780 ti is a kepler gpu, the 750 is a maxwell gpu. They are absolutely different. And nothing can be done to the software to change the tremendous gap in actual performance.

Doesn't sound possible to me.   As far as I know the chip on the card is fixed.  Nvidia doesn't disable the chip itself.   Lower end cards may have disabled units because the chip did not come out perfectly in the yield so they sell them as cheaper cards.  i.e. a 980ti can't be unlocked to a Titan X.

750 Ti is Maxwell. Not 750.

The GTX 750 is a GM107 chip with one SMX unit disabled, so it is maxwell.

780 to a 780ti? Maybe possible, 750 to a 780ti? Gtfo with that horse crap.

They're both maxwell. The 750 is just a cut down 750 ti.

I thought that perhaps it is possible, because many other types of processors are their big brothers with hidden/locked cores, threads, cache, etc. and with a much more afforable price... i7-5820K = i7-5930K but with locked PICE Lanes

Absolutely not. He's either dumb or fucking with you.
