An open-source effort to write a Mesa Nvidia driver called Nouveau is developed mostly by the community. Besides 3D applications such as games, modern display servers (X.org's Glamor or Wayland's Weston) use OpenGL/EGL; therefore all graphics typically go through Mesa.
[4] [3] All drivers run in userspace, including the Nvidia driver which the security researchers described as "kind of similar to the Linux driver". The graphics driver features an undocumented thin API layer, called NVN, which is "kind of like Vulkan" [4] but exposes most hardware features like OpenGL compatibility profile with Nvidia extensions.
Nvidia Gameworks consists of several main components: VisualFX: For rendering effects such as smoke, fire, water, depth of field, soft shadows, HBAO+, TXAA, FaceWorks, and HairWorks. PhysX: For physics, destruction, particle and fluid simulations. OptiX: For baked lighting and general-purpose ray-tracing.

Nvidia Optimus is a computer GPU switching technology created by Nvidia which, depending on the resource load generated by client software applications, will seamlessly switch between two graphics adapters within a computer system in order to provide either maximum performance or minimum power draw from the system's graphics rendering hardware.
The variable-bitrate is actually a way to temporarily disable the display link; [7]: 125 it only adds the possibility of choosing 0 bit/px. [ 7 ] : 41 Repeating recent pixels can be stored in 32-entry Indexed Color History (ICH) buffer, which can be referenced directly by each group in a slice; this improves compression quality of computer ...
A BFG Physx card. PhysX is an open-source [1] realtime physics engine middleware SDK developed by Nvidia as part of the Nvidia GameWorks software suite.. Initially, video games supporting PhysX were meant to be accelerated by PhysX PPU (expansion cards designed by Ageia).
