But AI says I have no GSP (GPU System Processor) and it’s a blocker.
I see:
LT-B:~ # zypper --no-refresh info --supplements nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed-kmp-meta |grep 1F82
(kernel-default and namespace:modalias(pci:v000010DEd00001F82sv*sd*bc03sc0[02]i00*))
(kernel-longterm and namespace:modalias(pci:v000010DEd00001F82sv*sd*bc03sc0[02]i00*))
LT-B:~ #
so the G06 open driver is what you need (unless there is a bug that should be reported). The same is confirmed by the Nvidia selector here

I updated with nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed-kmp-meta and disabled my nvidia.conf used because of the mouse input lag on 580 series.

AI recommends for KMS and Wayland to use
options nvidia-drm modeset=1 fbdev=1
Should I?
Also looks like I don’t use hardware decoding in a browser and need to install
zypper se vaapi-driver
I can’t find.
modeset=1 is recommended by Nvidia (see README/kms).
fbdev=1 is already the default (but does not hurt either).
HW decoding is most likely done via Vulkan and vaapi is an Intel thing anyway, but is seldom important with modern CPUs.
@psijic Did you check if firmware is in use? nvidia-smi -q | grep "GSP Firmware"
For nvidia its vdpau (libva-vdpau-driver). I did enable the vulkan display on Google Chrome recently…

Malcolm, vdpau apparently is a thing of the (recent) past, see: Mesa-Drops-VDPAU

Could also try setting LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=nvidia in /etc/environment. I also see org.freedesktop.Platform.VAAPI.nvidia flatpak installed .
I need to do a fresh install on this system, it has too much X11 cruft…

@Svyatko Hi, video hardware decode works fine in Google Chrome OTB with Nvidia open driver. Vulkan works fine (eg you tube) for most video, some are a little bit flakey, but I only use the default oss codecs.
