Reverse engineering. The unlock runs a payload derived from published analysis of NVIDIA's debug booter and changes GPU register state from a kernel module before the driver loads. It is unofficial, unsupported by NVIDIA, may void your warranty, and has been validated on very few cards.
Who it is forAn RTX 4070 Ti SUPER or RTX 4060 Ti 16GB owner willing to be an early tester on Linux.
The problemOnly one card of each model has been validated, so the module never selects them by default.
The outcomeA tested unlock on your exact card, or a clean refusal in the kernel log.
What you need first
- A Linux machine you fully control, with a spare stock boot entry to fall back to
- RTX 4090 (10de:2684); RTX 4070 Ti SUPER (10de:2705) and RTX 4060 Ti 16GB (10de:2805) are experimental and validated on one card each
- Kernel headers and a working DKMS toolchain, with CONFIG_CRYPTO_LIB_SHA256 in the kernel
- The stock NVIDIA driver
- Secure Boot turned off, or the out-of-tree module signed with your own key
- Your own stock benchmark numbers taken before you enable it
Steps
- Install with
make installas for the RTX 4090 - For an RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, add
gpu_unlock.targets=0000:01:00.0 gpu_unlock.ad103_experimental=1with your own address - For an RTX 4060 Ti 16GB, add
gpu_unlock.targets=0000:01:00.0 gpu_unlock.ad106_experimental=1with your own address - Power the machine off and start it again
- Run
journalctl -k -b | grep gpu_unlockand removegpu_unlock.targets=from the kernel command line to disable it
Prompt for your agent
Install JustAResearcher/gpu-unlock-ada and enable the experimental path for my <RTX 4070 Ti SUPER or RTX 4060 Ti 16GB> at <PCI address> with its experimental flag, keeping a stock boot entry. After a cold boot, report the gpu_unlock kernel log lines and whether the card unlocked.
Caveat. targets=all never selects these cards, other Ada models are not accepted, and shared firmware does not mean an untested card will work.
