##UPDATE: 1/5/2026 - To the losers that claim that I am a fraud.
Step 160/594 | Loss: -2.04124 | VRAM: 21.8GB Step 240/594 | Loss: -2.05276 | VRAM: 21.8GB Step 320/594 | Loss: -2.06390 | VRAM: 21.8GB
Lets see you run stable UNET3D model training for weeks at 21.8GB on a RTX 5080 16GB card. Most of you losers can't run a video game without overheating. So sit down, shut the hell up and say thank you I am still willing to provide you code. Otherwise get the fuk out of my repo.
Your RTX 5080/5090 is being artificially limited - even with PyTorch 2.7+ and CUDA 12.8.
Through reverse engineering with Ghidra, we discovered NVIDIA's driver actively rejects native sm_120 (Blackwell) kernel execution and silently falls back to sm_89 (Ada Lovelace) code - causing 30-40% performance loss that users don't even know about.
By patching 3 hex bytes in the NVIDIA driver:
- 3D Graphics Mark: 29,604 β 47,616 (+60.8% improvement!) π
- GPU Compute: 23,650 (unlocked performance)
- Same hardware, same system - just driver patch
- Native sm_120 execution finally working as intended

docker-compose up rtx-stone-jupyterWhat you get:
- β PyTorch 2.10.0a0 with native SM 12.0 (20-30% faster than nightlies)
- β All RTX 50-series GPUs supported (5090, 5080, 5070 Ti, 5070)

This is a custom-built PyTorch 2.10.0a0 package compiled with native SM 12.0 (Blackwell) support for Windows, PLUS driver-level patches that unlock true Blackwell performance.
Layer 1: PyTorch Compilation (SOLVED)
- Official PyTorch 2.7+ now compiles sm_120 kernels β
- Ships CUDA 12.8 binaries β
Layer 2: NVIDIA Driver (THIS REPO SOLVES)
- Driver actively rejects sm_120 kernels at runtime β
- Silently falls back to sm_89 (Ada) instead β
- You lose 30-40% performance without knowing β
- We reverse-engineered and patched it β
Official PyTorch 2.7 claims:
"Supports NVIDIA Blackwell architecture with CUDA 12.8"
What actually happens:
- PyTorch compiles sm_120 kernels β
- PyTorch loads them successfully β
- NVIDIA driver rejects them β
- Driver substitutes sm_89 fallback β
- User sees "working" but gets ~70% performance β
RTX-STone provides:
- PyTorch with native sm_120 compilation β
- Driver analysis and patches to bypass restrictions β
- True native Blackwell execution β
- 3D Graphics Mark: 47,616 (vs 29,604 stock) β
- 60% better performance than stock driver β
This build solves BOTH problems: PyTorch compilation AND driver gatekeeping.
Performance Advantages:
- Direct driver access - No virtualization overhead
- Lower latency - No translation layer between Windows and Linux
- Better compatibility - Native Windows apps and tools work seamlessly
- Simpler workflow - One environment, no dual OS management
WSL2 is great, but native Windows with proper CUDA support is simply faster and more efficient.

import torch
import triton
import triton.language as tl
@triton.jit
def vector_add_kernel(x_ptr, y_ptr, output_ptr, n_elements, BLOCK_SIZE: tl.constexpr):
# Get the program ID (which block we're processing)
pid = tl.program_id(axis=0)
# Compute offsets for this block
block_start = pid * BLOCK_SIZE
offsets = block_start + tl.arange(0, BLOCK_SIZE)
# Create a mask for valid elements
mask = offsets < n_elements
# Load data from GPU memory
x = tl.load(x_ptr + offsets, mask=mask)
y = tl.load(y_ptr + offsets, mask=mask)
# Perform computation
output = x + y
# Store result back to GPU memory
tl.store(output_ptr + offsets, output, mask=mask)
# Use the kernel
def add(x: torch.Tensor, y: torch.Tensor):
output = torch.empty_like(x)
n_elements = output.numel()
# Launch kernel
grid = lambda meta: (triton.cdiv(n_elements, meta['BLOCK_SIZE']),)
vector_add_kernel[grid](x, y, output, n_elements, BLOCK_SIZE=1024)
return output
# Test it
x = torch.randn(10000, device='cuda')
y = torch.randn(10000, device='cuda')

β Use Triton when:
- You need custom operations not available in PyTorch
- Fusing multiple operations to reduce memory bandwidth
- Prototyping research ideas with production-level performance
- Optimizing specific bottlenecks in your model
β Don't use Triton when:
- Standard PyTorch operations already meet your needs
- You're not familiar with GPU programming concepts yet
- The operation is already optimized in cuDNN/cuBLAS
