A new method allows re-enabling all 40 CUs by writing to two hardware registers during GPU driver initialization, achievable via Linux kernel module parameters. Since the disabled CUs are not permanently fused off, some units may actually be fully functional silicon that was binned for yield reasons. Testing on Bazzite Linux confirms the unlock works, boosting GPU performance beyond even the retail PS5's 36 active CUs. Thermal throttling is a concern with stock cooling, but water cooling resolves it, making these cheap mining cards viable gaming systems for those who win the silicon lottery. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
