NVIDIA open source Linux graphics driver tested, performance comparable to proprietary driver

According to news from this website on July 27, NVIDIA issued a press release on July 17, announcing a comprehensive shift to open source GPU kernel modules. And starting with the Nvidia 560 Linux driver beta released this week, the open source kernel driver module is used by default instead of the proprietary driver.

Technology media phoronix published a blog post yesterday (July 26), comparing and testing NVIDIA’s open source and proprietary drivers and found that the performance difference between the two is not significant.

The media stated that compared with the NVIDIA 555 stable Linux driver, the test results show that the performance of the open source kernel module is basically the same.

Equally important, there was no increase in power usage and no other changes to power management when switching to the open source NVIDIA kernel module.

A complete test introduction is attached to this site. Interested users can click to read it.
