@sun Freedom-wise, noveau is much better than the proprietary drivers.

Nouveau allows you to at least get an image at native resolution without having to agree to a proprietary license and having to run some mystery meat huge .elf .run file that definitely don't contain malware and spyware, as well as proprietary software that runs on the GPU and does god-knows what (better hope you have IOMMU).

If all you use is a web-browser and watch 1080p videos, you'll be pleased with nouveau's perfomance.


The re-clocking implementation isn't great, as there are still a bunch of bottlenecks in the pipeline, but re-clocking just keep improving.

Supertuxkart runs great, sometimes even hitting 1440p@120fps on a 780 Ti, although there are still issues with other games and 2d titles - but every free software game is still playable.
