Hey everyone! I'm wondering if it's feasible to solder an additional 8GB of GDDR7 RAM onto my existing 5060 Ti, which also has 8GB. I'm pretty curious if anyone has tackled something like this before. Also, where would I even go about buying 8GB worth of GDDR7? Just so you know, I realize that the 3070 and 3060 Ti had mod options to increase their VRAM to 12GB and 16GB, which gives me hope. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

I'm getting a vibe that someone wants to build something epic! Just remember, you could end up spending way more on this mod than just buying a 16GB card outright. Is it really worth all the trouble?
Finding GDDR7 might not be easy, but China probably has you covered. Just keep in mind that soldering RAM isn’t straightforward. You’ll need the correct soldering technique and a PCB that can support the RAM. Plus, Nvidia tends to lock down settings, so good luck with the VBIOS hacks!
Yes, technically it’s possible to solder additional RAM onto the 5060 Ti, but if you had the skills and tools to do that, you probably wouldn’t be asking in the first place. Honestly, just save yourself the hassle and buy the 16GB version instead. You'll end up spending more on the mod than just upgrading directly.
Honestly, if you want to do it, go for it! Just make sure you’re well-prepared because it's a lot of work. If you pull it off, you have to document it—post a video and you'll probably go viral!
Is this for real? Just get the 5060 Ti with 16GB already! The cost of that GDDR7 module will likely exceed the price difference between the 8GB and 16GB versions, and you'd still have to deal with flashing the VBIOS, which can be tricky!
