- GeForce RTX 20-, 30- and 40-series GPUs were unlocked by modders using a firmware exploit that removes compute limits and a half-speed AI throttle.
- RTX 4090 doubled its peak Tensor rate under the exploit, while the RTX 3090 Ti's matrix math performance rose by as much as 80%.
Why it matters: The gain is concrete for RTX 4090 and RTX 3090 Ti users: the firmware exploit doubles the 4090’s peak Tensor rate and raises 3090 Ti matrix math by up to 80%. The broader change is substantially higher AI-compute output across the RTX 20-, 30- and 40-series with the half-speed throttle removed.
