Hey everyone! I'm on the hunt for companies in the US that can help me upgrade the VRAM on my GPUs. Specifically, I have two 10GB RTX 3080s and I'm hoping to boost them to 20GB for machine learning and large language model tasks. However, I'm definitely not experienced enough to attempt this soldering stuff myself! Any suggestions or experiences you'd like to share?

There are definitely some companies that specialize in GPU repairs and upgrades, and they might handle VRAM upgrades too. A good idea would be to find out what chips are used in the 20GB versions and see if you can source those yourself. Just keep in mind, DIY might be worth it if the professional service prices are outrageous.
If I were you, I'd just sell your current 3080s and get the 20GB 3080 Ti versions instead. You'll save yourself a lot of hassle that way! Check out the specs—they're a solid upgrade.
Thanks for the suggestion! Selling and upgrading sounds a lot easier. I'll look into that!
