  • Open-source projects unlock hidden Tensor Core throughput on GeForce GPUs, doubling RTX 4090 performance

    Open-source developers released projects on GitHub that unlock higher Tensor Core throughput on NVIDIA GeForce GPUs by modifying boot-time configuration, without driver swaps or BIOS flashes. Tests reportedly doubled the FP16/FP32 and BF16/FP32 throughput of an RTX 4090 from about 165 TFLOPS to over 330 TFLOPS, with gains also observed on RTX 3090 Ti, RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, and RTX 2080 Ti. The projects target RTX 20, 30, and 40 series, with some experiments done on Windows 11.
