I still have a laptop with a Fermi gpu, and that gpu has been useless for years now. There is no chance it would be any different for Kepler.

NVIDIA 470 EOL Drivers For Kepler Still Obliterating Open-Source Alternative

It's really shameful of them to not -allow- the open-source drivers to properly run the hardware.
I could understand not documenting it. I could understand not helping out. I can't understand this.
This is costing reputation and sales, and they're missing out on a great opportunity to have evangelists for their products on the ground in IT shops.

Yeah, and why exactly Michael do you sound so hopeful? Any indication that suddenly now after years of not doing so, Nvidia will release firmware and authorise Nouveau to use it to re-clock cards?
Any minute now, right?
Or are you also one of those dimwits that believe it has to be Imagination Technologies, because, you know, they surely are losing out against AMD in the HPC space so they have to do something to stop the bleeding there!
Also, why the hell does RedHat of all companies keep investing shareholder money into Nouveau for years again?
Because one day they hope to take over nVidia's binary blob all by themselves & make it the new standard in the enterprise space?
Really?

Anyway, smart guys just buy Radeon, it's cheaper, faster, and less targeted by those chinese miners.

For 1%, Linux users are so arrogant and deluded to think that their basement-dwelling views matter when Nvidia is soundly trashing AMD in Windows land and in datacentre parallel compute usage.

I bought the hardware so I am OK with using their driver. If I worried about the driver I would buy Intel or AMD. In graphics cards you make your feelings known about the driver when you get the hardware.
