recent,A "diversion modification" method that can break the power limit of graphics cards has attracted attention on YouTube.It is said that this method can increase the power consumption of the RTX 5090 notebook graphics card from 175W to 250W, and the game performance can also be improved by 20%.
Simply put, offloading is a method used by professional gamers to bypass GPU power limitations and squeeze out additional GPU performance.This is accomplished primarily by changing the shunt resistance by adding a low value parallel resistor. This tricks the GPU into thinking it's consuming less power, when in fact, the power level is much higher than the set limit.
Taking the RTX 5090 laptop graphics card as an example, the rated power is 175W. After shunt modification, the actual operating power of the GPU can reach between 200W-250W.
recent,Technology blogger GizmoSlipTech successfully increased the power limit of the RTX 5090 laptop from 175W to 250W, and the final performance was amazing.
Some benchmarks and improvements for different games
Actual measurement shows,On average, compared to the 175W standard version, the performance after modification is improved by 20%.
NVIDIA has been reluctant to increase the power limits of notebook graphics cards, especially high-end models, due to thermal constraints and device durability.
However, testing does show that these graphics cards have been underutilized, and OEMs should be interested in increasing the power limit if NVIDIA can give them the green light.
at last,The blogger also gave six reasons why NVIDIA should increase the power limit., do you agree?
