UEFI pre-driver NVIDIA GPU unlocker for Windows Linux Hackintosh and all EFI-bootable system (Rust): SEC2 scrubber -> FWSEC/WPR2 -> signed Booter -> V67 four-write payload, read-back verified. Verified on most RTX 20 30 40 Series.

A Rust-written UEFI pre-boot tool that lifts NVIDIA GeForce Tensor compute restrictions without flashing the VBIOS. You boot from a USB stick, it applies an unlock (scrubber, WPR2, signed Booter, V67 payload), then chains back into Windows, Linux, or Hackintosh. Gains up to ~2.6x FP16 throughput on supported GTX 16/RTX 20/30/40 cards; the unlock must be replayed each cold boot.

Why now: It is trending on GitHub as a newly created, heavily starred repo promising large AI/inference speedups on consumer GeForce cards, notable because such unlocks typically required VBIOS mods or datacenter GPUs.

Who it is for: Owners of RTX 20/30/40-series GPUs who run local AI inference and want faster Tensor throughput without hardware flashing.
