Software Mods Reportedly Double AI Compute on RTX 20, 30, and 40 Series GPUs — Here's What the Numbers Actually Show

Community-developed software mods are reportedly unlocking up to twice the tensor throughput on NVIDIA RTX 20, 30, and 40 series GPUs for AI workloads. These mods target software limits on FP16/BF16 operations, showing real-world gains in LLM prompt processing and image generation, but do not affect gaming or token generation.
