EXCLUSIVE: Upcoming NVIDIA GTX 1080 “11Gbps” Cards Unlock to Full GTX 1080 Ti With BIOS Flash
..our sources at NVIDIA [say] that Founders Edition GTX 1080 11Gbps graphics cards bought directly from NVIDIA’s geforce.com website, are really full GTX 1080 Ti cards in disguise..
..by simply flashing them with the video BIOS of a Founders Edition GTX 1080 Ti, the full performance will be unlocked!..
AMD did something similar with the first AMD RX480 4GB Reference edition Cards -- they were actually RX480 8GB and could be reflashed to make them so (faster clocks and double the memory).
