Hello everyone!

Recently, I was watching a Tek Syndicate video and they said that you could turn a GTX 660Ti (or something like that) into a NVIDIA Tesla. I have a GTX 760 and was wondering if anyone knew a way to turn that into a GTX 780. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

It doesn't work like that... some cards with different names have essentially the same hardware but different firmware and so you can flash them across (but your example is more than a little suspicious) - a 760 and a 780 however are physically different cards with more or fewer cores, to name just one difference.

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

does not work that way, and you can brick your card.

Ok. I was just wondering. I had my hopes up, but I'm not all that disappointed.

 

Thanks everyone!
