Flashing GTX 460 -> 470

[PartyLikeARockstar]

I am looking for a Hackintosh GPU and I read that the 470 cards work well. This card appears to have 8 VRAM chips on it, and I THINK that makes it a cantidate for the 470 bios flash. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks!

Here is the card in question:

if you try to flash it and it fails you will brick the card. or you could just overload it. they lock the cards down for a reason. i doubt if the 460 could be a 470.but hey if you think it will work go for it. just be careful.

and post pics if it works.
