How would you forge a GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card, one of the best graphics cards around, that costs at least $1,500 without access to Nvidia’s AD102 processors and Micron’s GDDR6X memory? Easily, apparently, according to NorthWest Repair, a renowned repair shop.
Frankenstein graphics cards with mobile graphics processors and/or refurbished memory are nothing new. They are sold on various websites that make no secret that these boards use GPUs not obtained from official distributors and may require specialized drivers. But some shops go beyond that: they forge graphics cards using re-marked GPUs and faulty memory. It also happens to the ultra-premium models, like the GeForce RTX 4090.
