- NVIDIA RTX 20-, 30- and 40-series GPUs were hacked to remove a half-speed AI throttle through a firmware exploit.
- RTX 4090 doubles its peak tensor rate under the exploit, while the RTX 3090 Ti sees matrix math lifted by up to 80%.
Why it matters: The change delivers a concrete gain for RTX 4090 and RTX 3090 Ti users: peak tensor rate doubles on the 4090, and matrix math rises by as much as 80% on the 3090 Ti. The exploit targets that same half-speed AI throttle across the RTX 20-, 30- and 40-series GPUs named in the report.
