GitHub user Panchovix has published a tool that lets Nvidia RTX 30-, 40-, and 50-series GPU owners modify VBIOS settings without physically flashing the firmware chip. Instead, the configurator stores a modified VBIOS image in the GPU's register key, which the Nvidia driver loads on startup, and it works on both Windows and Linux.

YouTube modding channel TecLab rebuilt a Galax RTX 5090D HOF OC LAB XOC by removing its dual 16-pin power connectors and soldering in three 8-pin PCIe connectors directly to the power regulators, rewiring sense pins to remove power limits. Using liquid cooling, they pushed the card from 400W up to 900W, drawing over 120A and hitting clock speeds of 3,400 MHz, all through hardware changes alone with no BIOS or software tuning.
