Bootable USB unlocks Nvidia GPU AI speed up to 2.6×

LLMsInference

What is nv-uefi-unlocker?

The utility creates a UEFI-bootable USB that patches the Nvidia firmware before the OS loads, lifting the built-in limits on tensor-core performance. It works on Windows, Linux and Hackintosh without writing to the VBIOS, and the unlock disappears after power-off.

Who it is for

AI developers and researchers who need extra GPU throughput can boost RTX 20/30/40 cards by up to three times without flashing BIOS.

How to try it

Download the latest release and run `make-usbroot.sh` (or `.ps1` on Windows) to create the bootable USB.
