GPU Unlock for RTX 3080 Ti

Stable10de:2208 · 10de:2205

The RTX 3080 Ti 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 3080 Ti

01Clone and install the project on Linux.

Can the RTX 3080 Ti be unlocked on Windows?

No Windows port reports the RTX 3080 Ti yet. Use Linux. WSL2 does not help, because the unlock must run before the Windows driver starts.

Which PCI device IDs does the RTX 3080 Ti use?

10de:2208, 10de:2205. Check yours with lspci -nn | grep -i nvidia.
