I needed to connect the A10 GPU line to the A10 contacts on the memory chips. I did this with thin 0.06 mm enameled wire, securing it to the board with UV-curable varnish.

Very nice work!
Will you try to overclock the card with the new memory?
I've found that despite the faster memory and the infinite possibilites due to the straps the overclock on my card was quite disappointing.

I'm a big believer in taking good care of your equipment. Too many devices have been ruined by overclocking enthusiasts. I repair graphics cards and hate to see the aftermath of overclocking.

Woah, very nice indeed! It will be interesting to see if there are any cases where this leads to a noticable uplift in performance.

I remember I did some brief tests, the performance difference was negligible, while it was noticeable from 4mb to 8mb. I suppose my tests are some pages back
