TL;DR: A YouTuber achieved a 20-30% performance boost with NVIDIA's RTX 5090 laptop GPU by shunt modding, increasing the power supplied to the GPU from 175W to 250W. This risky overclocking method ...

Overclocking modern GPUs is easy and mostly safe. Expect a solid FPS boost of about 5–15%. Risk is low, but warranty may void. Control temps with fan curves, power limits, and do paste/pad swaps if ...

This modification involved bridging the GPU’s current detection resistors (shunt resistors) in the power delivery system. This allowed the graphics card to draw more power than what its firmware ...

Modders have released two new tools that could change GPU overclocking significantly. OMGVflash and NVflashk have effectively cracked a security feature on recent Nvidia GPUs, allowing extreme ...

Earlier this month, we covered Asus' insane water-cooled laptop and the appearance of a new Nvidia GPU that looked for all the world like a GTX 980 desktop chip in a mobile form factor. Today, Nvidia ...
