NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti Gets Nearly 80% FP16/BF16 Compute Boost With Linux-Based Unlocking Trick

An NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti graphics card is displayed on a dark surface, featuring the model name prominently on the casing.

The new tool reportedly helps the RTX 3090 Ti’s BF16 compute performance jump from 87.5 FLOPS to 157 TFLOPS while also improving the vLLM inference speeds by up to 36%. Open-Source Project “GPU Unlock” Bypasses NVIDIA’s Software-Level Restrictions on GeForce GPUs, Unlocking Professional-Grade Compute Capabilities A new trick has been unlocked to bypass NVIDIA’s software-level restrictions on consumer GeForce graphics cards. This has been achieved with a new open-source project called “GPU Unlock”, which allows the GPUs to access higher half-precision floating-point compute performance, which typically is reserved for the professional workstation GPUs. According to the project’s developer, “zagitta”, NVIDIA […]
