It's good to have an additional 10% performance uplift, but we won't be responsible if your GPU connector melts or your PC is set on fire.
With the Leaked RTX 5090 2000W XOC BIOS, A User Achieves Over 18,000 Points In Steel Nomad By Flashing It On His GIGABYTE RTX 5090
If you think 600W wasn't enough for your GPU, then you may try this gigantic 2002W custom XOC BIOS, which was originally made for the ASUS GeForce Astral RTX 5090 D GPU. Obviously, your GPU won't be able to draw 2000W, but we have seen RTX 5090 (non-D) variants pull as much as 1000W. If you remember, Jayztwocents flashed this BIOS on his GIGABYTE AORUS Master RTX 5090. The GPU was able to pull nearly 900W and delivered a 10% performance boost.
Now, the bad good news is that you can do it as well, as a user just leaked the 2002W XOC BIOS on the Overclock forum. Some users have already started experimenting with this BIOS, which is originally meant for the Chinese RTX 5090 D Astral variant, which has already been discontinued. These BIOSes are generally reserved for enthusiast overclockers and aren't available for the masses due to the risks they come with.
Nonetheless, one user flashed it on his GIGABYTE RTX 5090 GPU and scored a whopping 18,173 points in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, which should bring him in the top 25 best results worldwide. Jayz was able to score a good 18,186 points, and is currently sitting at the 20th spot. Even when the GPU can't be forced to draw 2000W, one can still push the RTX 5090 to its limits, but this can bring serious consequences you wouldn't want.
Since the regular RTX 5090 GPU with the 600W limit is prone to connector melting, you can only imagine how easy it will be to get your PC on fire in no time. Be sure to water-cool your cable if you don't want that to happen, but regardless, it doesn't make any sense to feed an additional 400W to your GPU for just 10-20 FPS more in games. You can easily max out your GPU's limit even with the ASUS Matrix 800W BIOS, but even that is too much for most editions to handle.
