Overclocker turns RTX 2080 Ti HOF into TITAN RTX HOF with 24GB memory swap
An overclocker has pulled off an unusual graphics card conversion by transplanting a full NVIDIA TITAN RTX GPU onto a custom high-end RTX 2080 Ti PCB. The project comes from Jiacheng Liu, who set out to reuse a premium 2080 Ti HOF board by fitting it with a fully unlocked TITAN-class core and a complete memory population.
The original 4352 shader configuration was replaced with a 4608-shader TU102-400-A1 die. Power limits jumped from 300W to 900W . Memory moved from 11 GB on a 352-bit bus using Samsung HC14 to a full 24 GB on a 384-bit bus with Samsung HC16. The result is a card that effectively turns a 2080 Ti into a TITAN RTX on a custom, overbuilt PCB with no disabled units or empty memory pads.

Despite the age of the Turing architecture, the platform remains supported. Driver updates continue, and NVIDIA added DLSS 4.5 support this month. TITAN RTX itself was the last TITAN model to reach retail, even though later leaks confirmed NVIDIA explored an RTX TITAN Ada and produced finished samples that never launched.

Liu recorded 18,038 points in the Time Spy Graphics test using an air cooler. Public rankings list the average TITAN RTX score at 14,657 points. Many world-record results date back to 2019, and the current top-10 scores sit around the 20,000-point mark. TITAN RTX entries in that bracket typically land between 19,000 and 20,000 points, showing that this converted card operates close to the platform’s historical ceiling.
This is something that no one would have attempted years ago, given the price and rarity of both cards, but nearly 8 years later, this seems like a fun project to do, and we are glad that some modders still do such things.
