   Perforrmance of Nouveau drivers under Sl   
   08 Feb 22 20:40:40   
   
   From: 12345@whatismyemailaddress.xyz   
      
   	I have an old PC with an NVidia graphics card running 14.2. I use   
   the NVidia proprietary drivers for this card on this PC without any   
   problems. However, transitioning to 15.0 and the 5.* kernels, the guys   
   from NVidia tell me that there are no NVidia drivers for my particular   
   NVidia card when such drivers are used. Which implies I'll have to use   
   the Nouveau driver.   
      
   	Anybody have experience with this driver under Slackware? I am   
   thinking about 3D applications - like e.g. google-earth, or the 3D hacks   
   in xscreensaver. Do they run at all? If they do, do they perform   
   tolerably, or are they like trickle?   
      
   	I might just have to bite the bullet and get a new card (or maybe   
   even a new PC) but I would be interested to learn about the experience of   
   other Slackware users in this respect.
