NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 2080 Ti can be upgraded from 11 GB to 22 GB of VRAM. The upgrade replaces the original 1 GB GDDR6 memory modules with 2 GB GDDR6 modules using BGA rework. The VBIOS is reconfigured to recognize the increased memory, and thermal pads and paste are replaced for cooling. The service includes full benchmarking with Furmark, 3DMark and other stress tests to confirm stability. It is available only for RTX 2080 Ti (TU102) cards that have compatible PCB layouts and require BIOS modification. Cards with severe corrosion, burnt PCBs, or previous repairs may not qualify. The cost depends on the availability of high‑capacity memory modules; the website lists the price as AED0. A pickup and delivery fee of AED50 applies. The upgrade typically takes 12 days to complete, including testing. All workmanship and replaced memory components are covered by a 90‑day warranty.
