Considering how unobtainium GPUs have become nvidia could get a PR win by publishing unlocks for all their outdated hardware.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.

The people doing this would likely not be buying new ones anyway.
