Keep this to yourself, but a BIOS with a theoretical 2,001 W power limit exists for this absurdly overbuilt Galax RTX 5090 D

The Galax RTX 5090D Hall of Fame XOC (Extreme OC) graphics card on a smoky background.

The Galax RTX 5090 D HOF XOC Edition is an interesting graphics card. For a start, as an RTX 5090 D GPU, it's only available in China. It's got a ridiculous name, a ridiculous shroud design (is that a literal crown?) and it's been overbuilt to the nth-degree for overclocking purposes—and now evidence suggests that a BIOS with a 2,001 W upper power limit is available to those in the know.

Screenshots have been shared on various forums purporting to show a BIOS given to participants in a Galax overclocking competition, in which the maximum power limit for the card is reported by GPU-Z as 2,001 W (via Overclocking). That's an absurdly high number for an absurdly-specced card, although the upper limit is purely theoretical.
