The RTX 4090's compute performance rises from 165.6 to 331.6 TFLOPS via the unlock, while the RTX 3090 Ti's BF16 performance increases from 87.5 to 157.4 TFLOPS. The projects, which were previously limited to Linux environments requiring the disabling of Secure Boot, have since been reproduced on Windows 11.

Open-Source Projects Unlock AI Performance on Nvidia RTX 20, 30, and 40 GPUs
Tech16 hours ago
Community developers have expanded a performance exploit to remove AI computation caps across Nvidia's RTX 20, 30, and 40 series graphics cards. The open-source projects provide a method to bypass Tensor Core hardware limits without flashing the BIOS or modifying official drivers, enabling some models—including the RTX 2080 Ti—to nearly double their FP16 operation throughput.
