This fellow has figured out how to remove the various 'hardware straps' on the cards to change the cards into their professional counterparts.. Would this open up more computing power to us?

Last modified: 19 Mar 2013, 18:13:42 UTC What additional features do you think it offers, other than 3D sound under Linux? Would it have any drawbacks, such as dropping to PCI Express 2.0? Anyway, I'm definitely against taking a soldering iron to a GTX690. You could destroy the card, invalidate any guarantee or even burn your fingers!
