Nouveau Re-Clocking Is Way Faster, Shows Much Progress For Open-Source NVIDIA

lol - nailed it


They're fools. You should eat them.


let's see when nouveau with re-clocking is at least roughly usable for a wider audience (without graphical corruptions, hardlocks, ...)


great work devs !

You Sir just made my day

Very nice improvements to many benchmarks. The 740SC doesn't look like it's GPU bottlenecked based on the performance scaling (or the clocks aren't scaling properly as reported), but the other cards definitely improve.

Congratulations to those who are working on the Nouveau kernel drivers, you've earned it.

Basically confirming what I've been saying. This time next year, nouveau is going to be a high performance 3d driver.

Not unless nvidia starts supplying info. Just look at how many years it took to solve it for these very few cards. How about others and new cards that will come out later? All have to be reverse-engineered which will probably be a slower process than nvidia releasing new cards.

No work happened on reclocking for quite some time. Devs are getting back at it though.

On my side, I am not done with thermal management and perf monitoring.

Glad to see nouveau improving!

Yeah! Maybe one day bumblebee will no longer be needed. The switching support in the official driver is not doing quite well, and it does not support wayland at the moment.

Just in time for all the older Nvidia graphics to go legacy and thus no longer supported. It'll be a while before Nouveau catches up to Nvidia's drivers, but it'll be worth it.

If everything in the following page's chart is checked off as "Done" then would dynamic power management be finished or would enabling dynamic power management be a separate task for after it's done?
