Nvidia CMP 170HX Modded From 8GB to 64GB With 1.49 TB/s Bandwidth

Inspired by an LTT video, a developer dug into the Nvidia CMP 170HX mining card: its memory can be modded from 8GB to 64GB with 1.49 TB/s bandwidth. The author calls Nvidia "wasteful and lazy" on this card, has ordered an already-unlocked unit, and plans to run it at 180W — potentially a very cost-effective big-memory, high-bandwidth option for local inference.
