Mod unlocks increased AI compute performance for NVIDIA RTX 30 series GPUs
A community-developed mod or trick has been reported to unlock significant AI compute performance gains for NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 series GPUs, specifically the RTX 3090 and 3090 Ti. While some outlets report performance nearly doubling for Tensor Core operations, others cite real-world gains up to 60% or an 80% boost for FP16/BF16 compute. The reports also mention a "catch" or limitation, suggesting the gains are specific to certain workloads and not a general performance increase.
