GPU Unlock for RTX 3050

Stable10de:2507 · 10de:2508

The RTX 3050 is on the stable list of Zagitta/gpu-unlock, with 100+ RTX 30 user reports.

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.

Ampere is the best-tested generation. targets=all selects every supported, unbound card.

How to unlock the RTX 3050

01Clone and install the project on Linux.

git clone https://github.com/Zagitta/gpu-unlock
cd gpu-unlock
make install

02Add this to your kernel command line.

gpu_unlock.targets=all

03Power off, start again, and check the log.

journalctl -k -b | grep gpu_unlock

Can the RTX 3050 be unlocked on Windows?

No Windows port reports the RTX 3050 yet. Use Linux. WSL2 does not help, because the unlock must run before the Windows driver starts.

Which PCI device IDs does the RTX 3050 use?

10de:2507, 10de:2508. Check yours with lspci -nn | grep -i nvidia.
