so a few months back i got my evga classy gtx780ti and now they have released the titan black which offers more vram and the double precision cores,as i have heard that it has be disabled/reduced on the 780ti by its drivers..is there any way to flash the 780ti to a titan black(not the extra 3 gb though). if so what hardware mod is to be done (resistors)and is it safe to try flashing as i have dual bios?

It's not just a BIOS flash, it's not just disabled by software. Nvidia learned to stop doing that when people learned how to unlock it, so they usually hardware-lock it out, either by not including the connections at all or designing the PCB around not having it.

In other words - there's no hardware mod that can be done, and there's no BIOS flashing that can be done that does anything more than change what name shows up in your Device Manager, you'll still have the same card, with 3 GB of RAM and neutered double-precision cores.

If you got it less than 90 days ago, you can probably bump up to the Titan Black using EVGA's Step Up program, and pay the difference to get a Titan Black.

Unfortunately, most cards are hardware locked nowadays including Kepler. You cannot flash your 780Ti to a TB.

The last (i think) card you could successfully unlock was the HD 6950->6970.

However, don't fret, as with some overclocking your 780Ti will easily match a TB provided you've got a decent chip.

Really almost no need. The performance is almost identical to the minus the double compute functionality and extra RAM, which is why Nvidia didn't bother sending most review sites an engineering sample to benchmark.
