Summary
Someone has released an open-source tool called 'gpu-unlock', claiming it can remove NVIDIA's software restrictions on GeForce graphics cards, substantially boost the computing power of the RTX 3060/3090/4090, and significantly accelerate AI workloads such as image generation, model fine-tuning, and LLM inference.

😂 This has to be a huge scandal for Nvidia! The performance of the graphics card you bought has been artificially cut in half..
But now it’s officially been cracked!
Someone has released an open-source tool called ‘gpu-unlock’ that can remove Nvidia’s software restrictions on GeForce graphics cards for personal use.
Processing power skyrockets:
• RTX 3060: From 27 to 51 TFLOPS (+87%) • RTX 3090: From 75 to 125 TFLOPS (+65%) • RTX 4090: A legendary leap to a peak of 329 TFLOPS!
What this means in practice for AI
- Image generation (ComfyUI/SD): 30%-55% faster!
- Model training (fine-tuning): An extra 25%-50% speed boost!
- Text generation (LLMs): Token latency reduced by 25%-30%!
No BIOS changes, no driver modifications.. The same precision and safety, fully unleashing your graphics card’s true performance
