Modders double Nvidia RTX 2080 VRAM, boost min FPS by 1400%

The modding community is great at finding ways to extend the life expectancy of aging tech, and recently, an optimistic group of Brazilian modders attempted an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 VRAM upgrade. Their goal was to double the VRAM to 16GB, hopefully allowing the non-super RTX 2080 to perform better in modern games.

At the time of its release, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 was among the best graphics cards available, but that was all the way back in 2018. Games are now becoming far more memory-hungry, so there's plenty of reason to hope that an RTX 2080 VRAM upgrade will greatly extend the otherwise still capable card's life, and it appears that early results show promising results.
