The power of the GeForce RTX 5090 D is being pushed to new heights with an unofficial XOC BIOS that unlocks a massive 2001W power limit through a single 16-pin power connector. This BIOS is designed for the ROG Astral RTX 5090 D Gaming OC, expanding its capabilities well beyond the standard limits.
The new BIOS, available for download, is not officially verified, so adventurous users should proceed with caution. Although the RTX 5090 D model has been discontinued, this BIOS offers owners the opportunity to elevate their power limit from 600W to 2001W, significantly enhancing performance potential.
Initially discovered by a user from the Overclock forums, the XOC BIOS is compatible with ASUS’s high-end Astral RTX 5090 D Gaming OC. This dramatic increase in power input is risky, potentially leading to hardware damage. However, for thrill-seekers and overclocking enthusiasts, the potential for higher speeds and improved performance is enticing.
This revelation follows the GALAX RTX 5090 D HOF’s recent achievement of a new world record in the 3DMark Port Royal benchmark, attributed to an XOC BIOS that unlocked its 2001W power limit. With a jaw-dropping 3.65 GHz boost achieved through nitrogen cooling, the GALAX model set a high bar. The Astral RTX 5090 D might not match the GALAX HOF edition out of the box, but with this new BIOS, it could potentially reach impressive new levels of performance.
For those intrigued by cutting-edge performance tweaks, this development marks an exciting opportunity to explore the limits of the RTX 5090 D.
