The exact command
git clone https://github.com/Zagitta/gpu-unlock • cd gpu-unlock • make install
What it is
gpu-unlock is a free, community-driven Linux tool that removes NVIDIA's artificial cap on tensor core performance for GeForce RTX GPUs, doubling AI speed.
What to make with it
Accelerate LLM prefill/prompt processing by 25-55%
Speed up image generation (ComfyUI, SDXL) by 30-55%
Boost fine-tuning models (LoRA, BF16 training) by 25-50%
Skip it if
Does not affect gaming, FP32 CUDA, INT8/INT4 GGUFs, or memory-bound LLM token generation. No change if your primary use is not tensor core AI math.
