NVIDIA's Open-Source Linux Kernel Driver Performing At Parity To Proprietary Driver
With the recently introduced NVIDIA 555 Linux driver stable series their open-source GPU kernel driver modules are in great shape across consumer and professional graphics products.
Going the route of the MIT/GPLv2 dual-licensed kernel modules from NVIDIA also now means more features than their proprietary driver. The open-source kernel driver modules allow for confidential computing, Magnum IO GPUDirect Storage, Heterogeneous Memory Management, CPU affinity for GPU fault handlers, DMA-BUF support for CUDA allocations, and other features to come. Linux reviews on those cards will be coming up soon while I also used these for a fresh look at the proprietary versus open-source kernel module performance.
