RTX 5070 Ti with catastrophic damage brought back to life by RX 580 — AMD VRM graft resurrects card with a huge hole burned into its PCB

Brazilian YouTuber and technician Paulo revived a severely damaged RTX 5070 Ti by merging it with an AMD RX 580, creating a working hybrid GPU. The RTX 5070 Ti had a hole burned through its PCB due to a lightning surge, but its core and memory were intact. By transferring power from the RX 580's VRMs to the RTX 5070 Ti, Paulo successfully resurrected the card with careful circuitry work. The experiment resulted in a functional GPU drawing around 19W, with plans to further stabilize the power delivery system for gaming.
