Recently, hardware aficionados have unearthed that by employing the latest iteration of the mVolt+ tool, they can unlock the low-level power adjustment features of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 series graphics cards, which are based on the Blackwell architecture. This breakthrough enables the RTX 5090 graphics card to surge its power consumption from the officially capped 575W to a staggering 700W, all without the need for any hardware alterations, marking an approximate 26% increase over the rated value. The tool grants users the ability to fine-tune the power limits for both the core and memory, adjust the GPU frequency range, and modify voltage offsets across various domains within the chip.
Experimental results have demonstrated that the RTX 5090's core frequency can be reliably maintained at approximately 3.2GHz. Similarly, the RTX 5080 has also seen its power consumption exceed the official limit, reaching up to 680W. Nonetheless, it's crucial to note that a substantial hike in power consumption will impose a greater strain on both the power supply and cooling systems. Therefore, such endeavors are not recommended for everyday use.
