Japanese tech shop AiGPU has begun offering customers the opportunity to double the VRAM capacity of their NVIDIA RTX 2080 Ti graphics card from 11GB to 22GB for a price of 45,000 yen (approximately RM1,146). The process involves replacing the original 1GB GDDR6 memory chips with 2GB variants, effectively doubling the GPU's capacity.
AiGPU's service extends beyond the RTX 2080 Ti, offering similar upgrades for several other GPUs from various generations, including the RTX 3080 with 20GB, RTX 4080 and 4080 Super with 32GB, and the RTX 4090 with 480GB. This expansion of memory capacity is driven by the growing demand for AI-capable hardware, which has led to a memory chip shortage affecting not only GPUs but also RAM and storage production.
The increasing prices for these memory components have resulted in significant cost increases for the DIY PC and laptop market.
