StudioOpen-source gpu-unlock kernel module enables free 15% PP and 5% TG speedup for RTX 3090
Original title: Amazing free 3090 speedup hack, verified works 15% PP, 5% TG for free
u/Striking_Luck_886 released a candidate for gpu-unlock 1.0.0, a Linux kernel module that combines CMP unlocker V67/PLM techniques with UEFI pre-driver timing to unlock GPUs before NVIDIA drivers bind them. Tested on CachyOS kernel 7.2.8-1 with NVIDIA driver 615.71.09 on an RTX 3090, it achieved approximately 15% higher power limit (PP) and 5% higher temperature limit (TG). Hosted at https://github.com/Zagitta/gpu-unlock, the project supports installation via makepkg, dpkg, or rpmbuild, allows selective enabling through the kernel command line parameter gpu_unlock.targets=, requires a cold boot to take effect, and does not support hot restarts. It has currently only been tested on GA102-based RTX 3090 cards, with other GPUs and environments unverified.
Provides local build, installation, and rollback instructions, while honestly noting validation was limited to a single RTX 3090 environment, allowing readers to assess suitability themselves.
