How is the open source driver when it comes to compute and 3d gaming?

Just interested if it works OK.



Its extremely slow and does not support CUDA. I think the problem is nvidia blocks them somehow from changing the clock speed on the gpu so it gets stuck running in its slowest speed.


That's a shame, I enjoy playing with ML so having no CUDA available is a bit of a showstopper there.

For graphics I'd like to switch to AMD, but right now you just can't buy their higher end consumer cards.


To be fair you can't buy any 3000 series Nvidia card either.


Quite true! Let's be balanced about it.

In this case I already have a 2080Ti, which gives my previous comment context. If I was starting from scratch then, well, I'd be stuffed either way :)
