Nearly 17% for the 3090Ti at 4K max settings in AC:Valhalla is very impressive for a driver update.

It's almost like they have an abundance of old stock cards to sell... a 5-20% performance increase for no extra money out of nowhere... imagine that!

Nah, no way. Everyone is buying up their cheap 4090 cards instead.

According to a post from early this year Turing and Ampere silicon have a little bit of dedicated on-die hardware called the GSP or GPU System Processor, That can mitigate a lot of CPU overhead.

Originally Nvidia was only enabling this for their Turing and Ampere enterprise level cards but a few people are theorising that this driver finally enables it on non enterprise hardware hence the 5-25% perf uplift.

My guess is, Tin foil hat on, That Nvidia didn't want to enable it earlier just incase they needed it for a certain situation, Whether that was for shifting excess stock or to 1 up AMD in the driver department.

My guess is that they could release a new SKU with that unlocked, tweak the bios a little to draw more power, or less power and call it a new Model e.g. "Super", then provide us with charts of proven FPS increases.

Well Jen did say he was manipulating the market. This could be how.

Or just enable it on the existing 3000 series cards through the latest driver and then claim "we did it for the gamers" when in actual fact it's to entice more people to buy surplus 3000 stock, Seems like a Jenny Wang thing to do.
