Nouveau and 50 series

Hi there,

Maybe a no so smart question, but I saw that NV200 is missing from nouveau's feature matrix.
Does that mean any and every 5000 series card, 5060/5070... are not supported at all ?
It seems that gentoo wiki indicate that there is no support.

Thanks for the answers

Re: Nouveau and 50 series

The successor to nouveau kernel module is nova
I doubt it's in usable state though.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

NIce to see there is still work on the subject.
But yeah, it seems that this it is not even packaged on AUR so we'll see

Re: Nouveau and 50 series

There is an approach that should work , no idea about its performance though .

https://docs.mesa3d.org/drivers/nvk.html
It requires a recent kernel & mesa version and uses Zink to provide OpenGL over the vulkan-nouveau (NVK) driver.
