I would suggest to not be inaccurate when it comes to describing GPUs.
Series (900 series, RTX 20 series) has nothing to do with anything.
Firmware signing started with Maxwell 2, GSP was introduced with Turing.
Stop saying GTX 900 started with signing because it excludes some 800 series GPUs and incorrectly includes some 900 series. Same goes for the RTX 20 series because the GTX 16 series is also all Turing for now and they also have GSP support.

I think GTX 16 series also have GSP. (such as GTX 1650). No?Originally posted by Alexmitter View PostLeave a comment:

It can't come soon enough. On the other hand I would like to try and track the status of this, but the cheapest GPU with that GSP seems to be the RTX 2060. Which is still extremely expensive for what it is. Especially for something basically useless until this driver matured.Leave a comment:

I am actually looking forward to this, so I can disable the Nvidia blob.
I don't game on Linux anymore, so raw FPS isn't something I care about too much. But having a driver that's decent for desktop usage (nouveau, isn't atm), that supports wayland etc properly would be very much better than the current status quo.
Nvidias blob on Wayland is still a mess. Xwayland doesn't work properly unless you turn off GPU acceleration for it.Leave a comment:

Nouveau Kernel Driver Patches Begin Preparing For "NVK" Open-Source Vulkan Support
Phoronix: Nouveau Kernel Driver Patches Begin Preparing For "NVK" Open-Source Vulkan Support
Over the past year NVK has taken shape as a -- currently out-of-tree -- Mesa Vulkan driver for supporting NVIDIA graphics hardware. This open-source NVIDIA Vulkan driver is inching closer to the point of being upstreamed into Mesa, but before it's usable for gamers/enthusiasts there is kernel work that must happen too...
