About the project

UEFI pre-driver unlocker for NVIDIA GPUs (RTX 20/30/40) that runs a firmware transaction chain before the driver loads to activate hidden GPU performance. The unlock is volatile and must be replayed on every cold boot.

Useful for
  • Unlock RTX 4060 Laptop performance by booting from a UEFI USB stick
  • Run diagnostic mode without payload to verify the chain on a specific card
  • Pin a specific GPU by BDF on a system with multiple supported cards

2.8 Early signal Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 30, 2026, 10:18 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

03060October 26, 2026October 30, 2026

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-30 (UTC), 09:23–10:08: 135 → 136 stars (+1). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +13 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • The repository is 4 days old and already has 136 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
  • Top new repositories this week: #156.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
