Nvidia open kernel module drivers vs proprietary

English Hardware

Recently read this:

Since nouveau will most likely never ever reach performance good enough for gaming, and new open vulkan ones are still in diapers, I’m wondering about these new “open” drivers.

For GPUs models 3xxx onwards, are they good enough, or still better stick to proprietary?

Can they be installed from Nvidia repo?

Thanks.

The open modules are available in the openSUSE OSS repo.

Outdated stuff, because:

With NVIDIA Blackwell and Grace Hopper, only their open-source GPU kernel modules are supported and their former proprietary kernel driver code now unsupported.
