NVIDIA RTX 30 & RTX 40 GPUs Get Impressively Fast In AI LLMs As Compute Doubles With New Unlock Tool But Prices Surge Too

A new GPU unlock tool has unlocked the full potential of NVIDIA’s RTX 30 & RTX 40 GPUs, achieving faster AI LLM performance and compute capabilities.

Back in the crypto mining days, NVIDIA had the compute performance of its GeForce RTX 30 GPUs virtually unlocked through BIOS firmware and patches as it rolled out its mining-specific CMP line of chips. The CMP cards have also recieved a special unlock tool which exposes their full memory capabilities, jumping from 8-10 GB to 64-80 GB.

While modders managed to unlock the full mining rates, the compute restrictions were still in place. But that changes through a new open-source GitHub project called “Zagita,” which is unlocking the full BF16/FP16 rates featured on the Ampere GPUs. The tool is easy to use and doesn’t require any vBIOS flash or hardware modding.

Running the tool is simple, and it unlocks double the compute capabilities of NVIDIA’s RTX 30 series FP16/BF16 FMA across all GA102, GA103, GA104, and GA106 GPUs.
