ColtC7 Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 I found this TechInferno thread(https://www.techinferno.com/index.php?/topic/10170-hardware-mod-980m-to-desktop-980-core-upgrade/) that talks about transplanting desktop GM204 980 dies onto 980M PCBs(OP did this because they damaged the chip and couldn't cheaply get a replacement card. they also got the monstrosity working in windows, with benchmarks) and I was wondering, would it be worth transplanting desktop GPU dies onto laptop PCBs that use the same sort of chip? You would need quite the beefy cooling solution to keep the chip cool, or just a dead chip to replace. I mean, the answer obviously is a big, fat, many-O'd NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, but still. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reciever Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I would imagine it would need to be a case by case basis for this kind of scenario, certainly anything is possible with the right tools and knowledge. Keep in mind that a custom vBIOS was also needed to rectify some issues he was initially facing upon the result of the modification.
