    Yeah, those were the days when cost control was simply to use the same PCB but with just the traces left out. There were also quite a few cards that used the exact same PCB, traces intact, that you could simple flash the next tier card’s BIOS and get significant performance bumps.

    Did a few of those mods myself back in the day, those were fun times.

        Get 500 dollars then use AI to generate the other 3/4 of the money and buy a 5090.

          Ya I’m sad to see and exit. Maybe in a year or two I’ll get that sapphire 7900 xtx or whatever it is.

          Mine too except for 3440x1440 with 144Hz possible. I hardly get that resolution and refresh rate on higher demanding games
