Project Idea - Any chancethis will work?

[MeatLoaf]

Just wondering if i can get my hands on a borked 7900GT, would it be possible to reflash its bios using the BIOS from my current 7900GS, so that it would function as a GS enableing me to sli it with my current card?

They did something similar on vr-zone moddiong a GS to a GT so wondered if its possible the other way round ?


Obviously id get one thats not been blown up with a volt mode or something

Yes it did come to think of it but didnt he do that to try and enable the other 4 pipes?

Maybe trying a dead 7800GT would be a better bet.

Well ive just got hold of a pci voodoo banshee on MM so thats that sorted out.

Ive put an ad on MM for a broken 7900GT, obviously one thats been blown up wont work but you never know.

will be hard to get hold of one though, id of thaught the broken cards would get RMA'd straight away

Youre probably right but i might get lucky and find one thats been butchered with a replacement cooler or something thats un-RMA-able
