The application specific hacks are in userspace. There is an application profiles rc file with all of them....

They have a new driver architecture that leverages the GSP. The proprietary driver supports that too. You need to configure the NVreg_EnableGpuFirmware...

Since the driver is production ready for datacenter applications, no power management probably means that it runs at maximum clock speed all of the time,...
