Hobbyists repurpose AMD's discontinued BC-250 mining chip into an FSR 4 gaming GPU

A community of Linux modders has been reworking the AMD BC-250, a cheap leftover mining GPU built from a cut-down PlayStation 5 chip, into a functional PC gaming card. The latest breakthrough unlocks all 40 of its RDNA 2 compute units and packages AMD's FSR 4 upscaling and frame generation as a Windows DLL that can be dropped into compatible games.

Modder revives Nvidia's canceled RTX 3070 Ti 16GB with custom VRAM swap

Brazilian YouTuber Fabian (fmklab) built a working version of the RTX 3070 Ti 16GB that Nvidia never shipped, by fitting an RTX 3070 Ti GPU onto an RTX 3070 PCB and swapping in higher-capacity Samsung GDDR6 chips. After reconfiguring the board's memory straps using Nvidia's BIOS Reader tool, the card correctly recognized the full 16GB pool in GPU-Z, matching the specs of a prototype that had only ever surfaced in database listings and photos.
