Ooh, those are some lovely features. If only Nvidia hadn't dropped support for 10xx cards as per 590.xx locking me on kernel 6.12, I might even have been able to enjoy using ntsync!
(Fuck Nvidia)
580xx on arch forever I presume then. Gonna be rough in a few years
Think Nouveau will catch up by then?
No. I don't. Fingers crossed for arch supporting for many years
Yup :(
I really gotta double check on my laptop, but I am using the nvidia-580xx-dmks aur package with the latest kernel (should be 6.18) without Problems.
But then again a lot of the "normal" HW acceleration is handled by the igpu there.
Yeah I thought the whole idea of dkms was so that you aren't locked to one kernel?
Thought so too, you compile the driver against the kernel. But I'm not sure about the exact mechanics.
I've always used the dmks Nvidia driver, so switching to the 580xx aur wasn't a problem
Thanks. No harm in trying it out, at least if I prepare appropriately.
