A hardware modder successfully doubled the VRAM of an RTX 3070 to 16GB using salvaged GDDR6 modules and custom tuning. This achievement demonstrates the potential for extending hardware lifecycles beyond factory specifications, though synthetic benchmarks show performance is largely compute-bound rather than memory-constrained. While the current effort-to-performance ratio is low, future high-resolution game titles may see more significant benefits from such custom hardware modifications.
