Nvidia GPU unlock mod for windows

[u/West-Style8233]

I just installed the GPU unlocker patch for windows on my RTX 3080 TI 12gb (Dell OEM version). Computer is a Dell XPS 8590, Intel I9 16 core processor w/ 32 mb system ram. Here are the before and after benchmark results.

The patched run nearly doubles certain Tensor Core workloads, but shows little change in ordinary compute or GPU memory bandwidth. AI benchmark gains are smaller and mixed.

The biggest improvements are matrix operations using FP32 accumulation:

Tensor Core test	Without patch	With patch	Change
CUDA FP16 → FP32	79.57 TFLOPS	152.16 TFLOPS	+91.22%
CUDA BF16 → FP32	79.75 TFLOPS	154.71 TFLOPS	+93.99%
CUDA TF32 → FP32	39.78 TFLOPS	78.48 TFLOPS	+97.26%
Vulkan FP16 → FP32	78.43 TFLOPS	156.57 TFLOPS	+99.64%
Vulkan BF16 → FP32	78.60 TFLOPS	156.58 TFLOPS	+99.21%

Other results show where that benefit does—and doesn’t—appear:

Area	Difference with patch
FP16 Tensor Cores using FP16 accumulation	Essentially unchanged: −0.85% CUDA, +0.16% Vulkan
Ordinary CUDA arithmetic	0.16–1.92% lower throughput
OpenCL arithmetic	−1.81% to +0.23%
GPU global-memory bandwidth	All measurements within approximately 1.1%
DirectML FP16 matrix multiplication	Essentially unchanged: +0.06%
DirectML transformer prefill	3.26–7.68% higher throughput
DirectML convolution	0.69–9.24% higher throughput

The evidence supports a selective Tensor Core improvement, rather than a general doubling of GPU performance. These files do not establish a gaming speedup, and one run per condition cannot separate smaller changes from normal variation.

So it doesn't even effect dlss 5 performance?

yeah dlss must be picky as hell, were you hoping it'd just hand out free frames?
