SiS, ULi and VIA also had problems with their chipset drivers (mainly agp.inf), but quickly released patches to correct these issues. In February 2007, Nvidia said that the problem will most likely be resolved with an "MCP driver update." [1] To date, Nvidia has not released a complete chipset driver package for nForce3 and Windows Vista.
In the middle: the FOSS stack, composed out of DRM & KMS driver, libDRM and Mesa 3D.Right side: Proprietary drivers: Kernel BLOB and User-space components. nouveau (/ n uː ˈ v oʊ /) is a free and open-source graphics device driver for Nvidia video cards and the Tegra family of SoCs written by independent software engineers, with minor help from Nvidia employees.
Vulkan targets high-performance real-time 3D-graphics applications, such as video games and interactive media, and highly parallelized computing. Vulkan is intended to offer higher performance and more efficient CPU and GPU usage compared to the older OpenGL and Direct3D 11 APIs. It does so by providing a considerably lower-level API for the ...
Nvidia NVENC (short for Nvidia Encoder) [1] is a feature in Nvidia graphics cards that performs video encoding, offloading this compute-intensive task from the CPU to a dedicated part of the GPU. It was introduced with the Kepler -based GeForce 600 series in March 2012 (GT 610, GT620 and GT630 is Fermi Architecture).
Community-created, free and open-source drivers exist as an alternative to the drivers released by Nvidia. Open-source drivers are developed primarily for Linux, however there may be ports to other operating systems. The most prominent alternative driver is the reverse-engineered free and open-source nouveau graphics device driver.
Nvidia stopped releasing 32-bit drivers for 32-bit operating systems after the last Release 390.x driver, 391.35, was released in March 2018. [45] Kepler notebook GPUs moved to legacy support in April 2019 and stopped receiving security updates in April 2020. [46] All notebook GPUs from the 7xxM family were affected by this change.

This technique is a form of hardware-assisted virtualization and achieves near-native [b] performance and high fidelity. If the hardware exposes contexts as full logical devices, then guests can use any API. Otherwise, APIs and drivers must manage the additional complexity of GPU contexts.
