Nvidia's latest driver update breaks mVolt+ overclocking functionality — Nifty, open-source app allowed users to increase the power limit to 700W on their RTX 50-series GPUs without hardware mods
The mVolt+ overclocking utility, which allowed RTX 50-series users to push power limits up to 700W without hardware mods, no longer works with Nvidia's driver 615.56. The app crashes when adjusting core power limit. It's unclear if intentional or a bug; other tools like Hydra may still work. Creator b00nz may release a fix.
