GizmoSlipTech has recently shared a fascinating modification to the GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU. By implementing a shunt mod to elevate the TGP (Total Graphics Power) from 175W to 250W, the YouTuber claims they achieved a performance increase of up to a whopping 40% in the mobile Blackwell flagship.
Shunt mods are popular with overclockers because they allow for increasing the power limit on the graphics card, enabling higher clock speeds. While suitable for testing, like GizmoSlipTech's experiments, shunt mods are not recommended for regular use, as exceeding the graphics card's rated limits always involves risks of damage. Furthermore, you need electronics knowledge to perform these tasks, so adding extra shunts isn't as simple as pouring more milk on your cereal.
