    AMD GPUs - Solder-Upgrading VRAM?

    Hi All...

    Some recent posts 1 2 have re-ignited my curiosity for upgrading the VRAM on GPU dies that have multiple-VRAM variants (usually the workstation/PRO cards have double the consumer versions).

    Nvidia cards seem to use the same standard practice as laptops/macs: resistor straps.

    However, I can't find much info on AMD boards? Some seem to suggest it's purely in the bios, no resistor-shifting needed.

    Just wondering if anyone on here has any experience with this? Or any schematics, etc.?

      Configuring VRAM Straps resistor Acer Nitro 5 LA-H501P GTX 1070 after replacing VRAM

      Acer Nitro 5 LA-H501P GTX 1070

      Hi. My laptop was water damaged and many things didn't work. I managed to get it up and working but had problem with GPU and at the end it turned out to be a faulty VRAM (Hynix H5GC8H24AJR-R2c) and I replaced it with (Samsung K4G80325FB-HC25) and it worked sort of. On standard drivers I was able to play fine but once exit the game laptop thrown blue screen “video tdr failure”. When I installed gaming drivers it worked fine ok, but when was running on a battery only was giving me blue screens. I think the problems is due to a wrong Straps...

      Asus Strix 1060 GTX NO VMEM Voltage & MATS Shows READ Error on Every VRAM.
      by dreico33
      Hellow guys,

      I have 5 Asus strix 1060 with the same problem. No Singal, MATS Shows in every VRAM Read Errors. and i dont have present VMEM Voltage.

      12V Present

      5V Present

      1.8V Present

      PEX Rail 1V

      GPU CORE Present 0,7v

      VMEM NO Volts

      PWM Controller

      VCC 5V

      EN 3.1 V

      VREF 2.1 V

      As far as i can understand or is a problem with the memory Controller ( in this case there is no solucion?) or for some reason the vram do not have Voltage. By the way i...

      Schematics and boardviews for newer GPUs (RX VEGA 56/RTX 2080/RX580/ZOTAC RTX 2060)
      by Borges
      I have been learning about microcomponents and GPUs for a while now to make an attempt to fix a few GPU I have bought from eBay.

      For some older model I have started making some repairs as it has been easier for me to find the schematics and BoardViews' for modle sbelow gtx 1080/rx 480. However I have a few GPUs I have bought that I am having a hard time diagnosing or finding any schmatics/boardviews. These are the following GPUs that are giving me a headache:



      - GIGABYTE Radeon RX VEGA 56 GAMING OC 8G
      - GIGABYTE GeForce RTX™ 2080 GAMING...

      What's the minimum hot air you need to remove vram/core ?
      by MasterCap
      I bricked a 6700xt last year, and worked on it some. But I either broke some solderballs loose, or cooked the core or vram.

      I tried to remove the core, then just a vram chip, and I couldn't do it, with my crappy little 858D hotair station.

      So what do people on here use to remove vram, which shouldn't be too hard, or the core ?

      What about 2 crappy hotair stations? 1 on 1 side, 1 on the other side ? What about a $75 hotplate from amazon underneath the PCB to help hotair?


      What do people on a budget, use on here ? Besides a frying...

      MSI gt83vr 8rg titan - no picture after repasting and repading GPUs
      by ktmmotocross
      Have a VERY bad day.
      Have this MSI GT83VR 8rg titan that wont show picture after both 1080ti cards repasted and repaded. offcourse as first i unplug main battery. everything went ok, but when starting i have no picture. Whole laptop looks like starting, have all voltages. i try it without gpus, but no luck. i have older gt73 with it and it shows picture without gpus so there is something with board. Flashed bios and have same results. i think about chipset as it is nototrious SR40 series, but dont want to make harsh move

      Any hint?

      No SN as no label on the back
