yes, that's what the GSP firmware allows us to do, just need to wire it up (it's being worked on)

Well, they are close enough for a single driver to handle them all, but I always find this fun when people talks about “the” GTX 1060 as if it was one product, GTX 1060 is not a product name, it's the name of a range of products.
Some GTX1060 have different GPU anyway (GP104 or GP106), they're close but even Nvidia does not name them the same. In the past they did that with the 8400 GS who seen three variants (with chip variants G86, G98, GT218) even games have to ship workarounds that are specific to this or that chip that is not the same despite the name.

Isn't the nvidia open driver the best candidate for eventual development into an upstream turing-and-later driver?
If there will be a new driver, or if Nouveau gets enough interest so we get enough people working on it to be stable, that's something we'll have to see.

another thing: "With time this NVK driver will likely be adapted to support the open-source NVIDIA kernel driver as an alternative to the Nouveau DRM driver." the answer to this is: no, it won't.
At least I am not interested. If others think it makes sense from a debugging/development perspective and submit patches we might consider it, but it doesn't make sense to maintain a code path supporting a driver, which won't get upstream.
