All CUDA infrastructure and libraries and development kits are also software, and are just as necessary as having the GPU hardware if you want to run applications using that.
Since they already make money by selling the GPUs, I don't see any reason whey they are so assholes about the software support.
They are using software to offer or limit features in their product lines, and have done so for decades (i.e. floating point performance is very hobbled in the gaming cards, but the hardware isn't substantially different to justify this change, their special passthrough and other businness functionality works only on Quadro cards but it has been spoofed in the past by BIOS modding gaming cards to change an ID number or doing other hacks to make them recognized as Quadro).
Sos it's plain obvious why they aren't going to release shit for recklocking. If they do so, the Noveau driver will enable all sorts of crazy businness features for all their card lineup and it would be a disaster for their businness sales.Last edited by starshipeleven; 23 July 2020, 07:03 PM.

I thought that they are a hardware manufacturer and they make money buy selling their hardware, which is the GPUs.
Since they already make money by selling the GPUs, I don't see any reason whey they are so assholes about the software support.
Except for the fact that they want to be in total control of it keeping the users on a short leash.
It's not only the fact that they do not provide any documentation or code for their GPUs, but they also actively hinder anyone who tries that.
I am still amazed that people tolerate such crap from they company they gave money to.
I still have the dilemma of which slaves are worse, they buyers of Nvidia's products or Microsoft's products ?

really sucks nvidia doesn't do more to open up. with seeing amd able to do it, it makes it extremely hard for me to continue to believe or even give nvidia the benefit of the doubt as to their reasons why they can't. there's really little to no excuses anymore after amd being able to do it.
edit:
and i say this as someone who owns a nvidia 2080 ti now with a hp omen 27i nano ips freesync / gsync compat... i wish amd had something to compete on this performance level. right now i'm really eager for RDNA 2. why i went out of my way to get a premium gsync compat display rather than a pure gsync.

With Amphere likely being the next generation consumer GPUs, that would have been/would be huge.
There's other potential explanations but they're even more convoluted so them going "cold feet" due to how the market been acting up is the most likely scenario.

No more love from Nvidia froat my side. Def. my next laptop would be AMD.
Amd been doing a very good job contributing to opensource and open technologies.

I bet they would rather go bankrupt than to do such a thing for their customers.
But who cares, their users like to be slaves and that's it.
If the victims don't complain who are we to complain for them.
Especially since we're doing so fine on the real "green" side with AMD and Intel.
