As the thread started from Phoronix citation, let's continue: there's allegely new open-source GPU driver coming.

Yes they supported and include power management. On 22/05/2021 09:54, Kevin Kofler via rpmfusion-developers wrote: ___ rpmfusion-developers mailing list -- rpmfusion-developers@lists.rpmfusion.org To unsubscribe send an email to rpmfusion-developers-le...@lists.rpmfusion.org

Re: NVIDIA 470 Series To Be The Last Supporting GTX 600/700 Series Kepler.
Nvidia, as usual, has excellent timing in face of their Linux-based customers. Good time to shut down support of a popular series (grml, got multiple of these for ML/DNN reasons) when replacement cards that are actually wider in stream processors are virtually unobtainable. Can't do the maintenance myself. Honestly, NV should probably pay someone to do the rpmfusion packaging¹. Seeing that won't happen in all likelihood... anyone willing to do it if e.g. a funding drive promises a minimum yearly amount of recurring payment?
