Nouveau GPU System Processor (GSP) firmware integration that allows making use of NVIDIA’s binary GSP firmware on RTX 20 “Turing” and newer GPUs for having improved support. In turn this GSP route also provides initial support for GeForce RTX 40 series support.
tl;dr some preparation for hopefully better Nvidia open source driver support in the future
I guess that’s fair if you need AMD GPU right now for work.
I am fed up with Nvidia drivers too. Games run smoother on my Steam Deck than on my PC. Like I have higher average FPS on my PC but the frame time graph are spikes after spikes. And on Steam Deck frame time graph is smooth line.
Definitely know where you’re coming from.with the frametime issues, I see the same thing whether in X or Wayland.
I thought that was just the state of Linux gaming for a while, since I hadn’t known anyone else personally who was using Linux (let alone playing games on top of that). It wasn’t until the Steam Deck came out which tons of my friends have that I realized “this is just another Nvidia thing is it”…
Exactly the same thing, I just thought that was Linux gaming “it is what it is”, until I got steam deck.
