via BIOS

hue hue hue time to flash 1060 BIOS to unlock more shaders :P

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

Spoiler

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

Regular GTX 1060s 6GBs will not be affected since they already contain the maximum amount of shaders unlocked

Judge a product on its own merits AND the company that made it.

Oneplus 6 (Early 2023 to present) | HP Envy 15" x360 R7 5700U (Mid 2021 to present) | Steam Deck (Late 2022 to present)

Honest Question: "Nvidia, why can't you just more numbers instead of this confusing naming and SKUs poorly advertised?"

Nvidia: "Because fuck you, that's why."

8 months later they'll respond again with "because fuck you, that's why TI"

yah ofc they wont, i was referint to these new cards for china only, but import and unlock lol, i dont think they will be just BIOS deactivated though im going to guess they are physically disabled to some extent

9/10 that isn't the only way they disable the cores. Otherwise you could just re-enable them via a custom BIOS.

people actually used to do stuff like that, nvidia cockblocked that though. they probably have some electrical component that tells the bios what card it is and the bios is hardcoded to disable or enable things based on that. (im not sure though but i remember people hacking cards to become quadro's and the other way around)

there will be way too much work since every single GPU will have it's very own defect
