So, modders to the rescue, again, boys, have found a way to remove NVIDIA's compute performance restriction.

Arseholes for doing that on several generations of GeForce graphics cards.

What started with the RTX 3090 series is now expanded to the RTX 40 models and even the older RTX 2080 Ti, which I'll still say to this day is one of the best cars I've ever had, that and the 1080 Ti.

Modifications can nearly double the throughput of certain tensor code operations without changing the hardware or flashing a new BIOS.

However, this does not mean that twice the gaming performance, just important to note, and that the GeForce RTX 50 Blackwell series is yet to receive a confirmed workaround.

Yeah.

I mean, what's your thoughts on this, boys? Particularly hands.

request to review it.

I had an update from, was it the GeForce app saying there was rewards on Control Resonant?

Yeah, because I'm playing on Xbox, I can't claim them.

I can't claim

And that's clashing.

They're trying to get people into cloud gaming and then making these really abrupt changes where there's still cloud gaming services out there like GeForce, I think, that are still unlimited, I think.

If not, they're like hundreds of hours, which, let's face it, most of us never get that in.

But I don't know, man, I don't know what's going on with Xbox right now.

But I also know it's not that expensive.

because GeForce now does it for cheaper and better.

So this is just like them not understanding the market that they're in.

And it's because it stopped the market that they made.

And more importantly, it could hurt us, the gamers.

NVIDIA's AI accelerators and GeForce graphic cards, of course, rely on manufacturing capacity at TSMC.

That's the Taiwanese semiconductor manufacturers, which means essentially more production devoted to AI hardware could leave fewer resources for consumer GPUs.

It's a bandwidth issue.

And we go from a situation where the 5070 Ti was comfortably faster than the 9070 XT.

I don't remember the exact margins, but I'm pretty sure it was double digits faster, the GeForce GPU, when using a 9800X 3D.

When we switched to the Ryzen 5 5600, the GeForce GPU became something like 20, maybe up to 30% slower.

So a huge swing in the results there from faster with a high-end CPU to much slower with an older mid-range CPU.

So that's just something to be aware of if you are running an older CPU.

I wouldn't say there'll be a situation where you'd be sacrificing miles of performance, but you certainly wouldn't be maximizing performance compared to a Radeon GPU.

And I think what lets NVIDIA and has continued to let NVIDIA off the hook here a bit is the fact that Radeon just doesn't compete at the high end very well.

Now, people will be quick to point out that The high-end GeForce GPU is now like a 5080, probably a 5070 Ti, and therefore the 9070 XT is competing really well.

Yeah.

NVIDIA blocks it by default on their GeForce cards.

But I don't think they did on that.

I wonder if that has any kind of peer-to-peer functionality, since it's all over.

The thing that can power NVIDIA's GPUs.

Oh, yes.

And it's GeForce themed.

It is.
