gpu unlock: find your GPU device ID

Your GPU device ID is the 10de:2487 inside the brackets of lspci output. It is what this site keys everything on, because the model name on the box does not tell you which chip you actually have.

Finding your device ID for gpu unlock on Linux

  1. Run the command

    lspci -nn | grep -i nvidia lists every NVIDIA device with its vendor and device IDs in brackets.

  2. Take the last bracket on the line

    The vendor:device pair is the last [xxxx:xxxx] group, not the [0300] class code earlier in the line.

  3. Paste it into the table

    Both halves matter, and the search box accepts the colon form with or without a space.
shell
lspci -nn | grep -i nvidia

You get something like this. The part you need is the last bracket on the line:

Example output

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GA104 [GeForce RTX 3060] [10de:2487] (rev a1)

The line is illustrative; the ID pair is not made up — 10de:2487 is GA104 / RTX 3060 12 GB. [official README]

10de

Vendor — NVIDIA

Every GeForce card you can buy has this half. It never changes.

2487

Device — the die

GA104 here. GA106 ships under the same model name as 2504.

The ID is two numbers glued together. Only the second one changes between cards. [official README]

Finding the gpu unlock device ID on Windows

Not tested here — the steps below follow the documented Windows path.

  1. Open Device Manager, expand Display adapters

    Win+X, then Device Manager, is the short way.

  2. Right-click the NVIDIA card, choose Properties

  3. Open the Details tab and pick Hardware Ids

  4. Read the short form

    PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_2487 is 10de:2487.

Windows numbers its cards by PCI bus too, so the device ID it shows is the same value the Linux path would give you.

gpu unlock on a laptop with two GPUs

The integrated GPU comes first in the list and the discrete one second. If nothing shows up under nvidia, the card may have been powered down — run the command below to see what driver is bound to which device.

shell
lspci -nnk | grep -A3 -i vga

Use your ID in the gpu unlock table

Paste the GPU device ID into the search box on the gpu unlock compatibility table, or type it into the box on the home page — both filter as you type and neither changes the URL.

If it is in the table, the next step is the gpu unlock install order. If it is not, there is nothing to install.
