Frankenstein RTX 5070 Ti with an RTX 2080 Ti PCB breaks world record with extreme modding — card was damaged, salvaged with AMD donor parts and lots of soldered wires and tape

Frankenstein RTX 5070 Ti during testing.

Resurrecting an Nvidia graphics card with a massive hole in it might be enough of an achievement for some, but not for Brazilian YouTuber Paulo Gomes. Hours of initial work between him and his team to fix this burned-out RTX 5070 Ti succeeded, wiring up the VRMs from an AMD Radeon RX 580 to give it sufficient power in an otherwise unthinkable engineering feat.

Fresh from that initial success, and teaming up with fellow YouTuber ET's LGA1155, the team have taken a step further by introducing a new card into the mix: an Asus RTX 2080 Ti. Using the PCB from that card, Gomes and his team spent over seven hours bringing together this new and "improved" Frankenstein card, resulting in a Unigine Superposition benchmark result that makes it the number one-recorded RTX 5070 Ti by that tool.
