I never tryed an Iris (but I always wanted one laptop with i7-i5 and Iris GPU (pre-skylake)), if it is not Skylake Iris, it must to work very very good. Skylake needs blobs to work properly, and I think that Skylake it is less powerful that previous generation. Iris gpu it is a very very

As I said: "If you Librebooted your computer, probably you would not be able to see GRUB." I have your board, and some Nvidias GPU, but at the moment, I have no time to test that board with Libreboot, and external GPU. But forget to see the GRUB and payload at boot. I don't know if it

Yes, but it is hard to find sometimes, with kernel previous to 4.4 you must to add patches and compile nouveau.ko with headers, and after that booy with nouveau.pstate=1. But since kernel 4.4 you can reclock only with nouveau.pstate=1. Newer kernels no more need for nouveau.pstate=1.

I never tested 9xxx or 8xxx series on GNU and Nouveau. I think the same, these GPUs are slow. If you want to buy gt740, buy only with gddr5, I have Gigabyte one with 2gb of dggr5. Do not buy "ti" versions, are different, not Kepler. gtx750-gtx760-gtx770 must run fine too (not Ti). Every

For gaming, intel HD 3000-4000, and all before skylake. Or Nvidia kepler cards, with latest kernel and reclock, probably one Kepler card it is better choise. Personally I han gtx650, and now I have gtx770 4gb and gt740, all working fine, like with blob.

Hi guys, I am looking for a PCI Express video card that runs with trisquel. 3D should work for some gaming. If possible it should be a card that only uses one slot, because my Gigabyte GA-G41M-ES2L has just 2 PCI-Slots that I want to use for WLAN and maybe a better sound card. I have read
