As such, we've just spotted a vendor that will upgrade the 11GB of VRAM on an RTX 2080 Ti to 22GB and provide the BIOS for it upfront — no shady back-alley deals required. On their website, you can select the "Graphics Card Memory Upgrade" service for both the RTX 2080 Ti and the RTX 3070, though the former has more details. The RTX 2080 Ti uses 11x 1GB GDDR6 chips, so replacing them with the same amount of 2GB GDDR6 doubles the memory capacity instantly. This is a rather straightforward way of going about a VRAM upgrade, because oftentimes it actually requires a custom PCB. The original config for the 11GB modules was set to low, low, low.
