GPU Unlock for RTX 3070 Laptop GPU

StableLaptop10de:249d · 10de:24dd

The RTX 3070 Laptop GPU 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.
Laptops stay unlocked only if the GPU is never fully powered off. Many laptops cut power when idle, which silently resets the unlock.
