Considering how unobtainium GPUs have become nvidia could get a PR win by publishing unlocks for all their outdated hardware. ... people are figuring it out anyways, might as well embrace it.

Unlocks and VRam upgrades, like VRam sim slots, and a VRom slot that ran Linux, had its own GUI for reconfiguration. Like old 68k macs that have a selectable os in the boot roms.

And skip the opportunity to sell them overpriced new cards? This is Nvidia we're talking about.
