GPU Unlock for RTX 2080 SUPER

Experimental10de:1e81

The RTX 2080 SUPER is supported experimentally. Results come from one or a few cards, so check your own log carefully.

Measured BF16 (dense matmul, FP32 accumulate)

No per-card BF16 number is published yet. The tensor rate itself doubles on supported cards; real gains depend on power headroom.

  • Turing support is experimental in the upstream module. nlzy/turing-unlock measured the RTX 2080 Ti at 52.8 → 77.9 TFLOPS FP16 (8192³).
