Project measures FP16 and BF16 throughput on RTX 3000 cards

Original: GPU-unlock: FP/BF16 instruction issue rate on Nvidia 3000's cards

A GitHub project called gpu-unlock reports the FP16 and BF16 instruction issue rates across Nvidia's RTX 3000 series graphics cards, drawing attention to how Nvidia restricts half-precision compute performance on consumer hardware. Discussions point out that many cards have their FP/BF16 throughput deliberately limited relative to what the hardware can do, which matters for AI and machine-learning workloads running on consumer GPUs.

Why now: Demand for cheap compute for AI workloads is driving interest in unlocking restricted GPU performance
