From my limited research and understanding, Nvidia makes Linux drivers, but they’re closed source. These work fine. They open sourced some stuff but not enough to really change much yet.

There are also FOSS drivers, but the performance for those vary.

Is this correct? Should I stick to proprietary drivers if I want consistent performance?

    Anything newer and you’ll be throwing away compute power.

    btw, last time i checked like 2 years ago, it was about a 50% performance hit in the one thing I benchmarked. That's just too much.
