Hi, i was looking around graphic cards and i just happened to pass by the asus (the brand of my card) and i noticed that there is no r7 260x dc2 oc 1gb, there is only the 2gb version.
So i was wondering... maybe... just maybe, can i flash the bios and get the other 1gb? like radeon did with rx 480 4gb to 8 gb model?
I have looked around but no 1 ever wrote about that card.
Thx for the attention. :)

More than likely not worth attempting

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?
