As part of this last batch of small Direct Rendering Manager graphics\/accelerator driver changes is finally enabling the NVIDIA GA100 within the Nouveau driver.<\/p>\n<p>Back in February, NVIDIA posted GA100 support patches for the Nouveau driver in leveraging the GPU System Processor (GSP) for that Ampere accelerator. It&#8217;s that work now coming to mainline with the upcoming Linux 7.2 merge window for enabling that card to work on this upstream open-source driver as an alternative to using NVIDIA&#8217;s official (out-of-tree) Linux graphics driver stack.<br \/>\n<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.phoronix.net\/image.php?id=2026&#038;image=nvidia_a100\" alt=\"NVIDIA GA100\"\/><\/p>\n<p>While Nouveau has long supported other NVIDIA Ampere graphics cards with the GSP, the compute-only GA100 was the outlier that required specialized handling as uses some Turing GSP\/driver code paths. While the kernel driver is now ready for supporting the GA100 compute accelerator, the Mesa Rusticl\/NVK and Clover OpenCL driver options don&#8217;t yet handle any NVIDIA hardware without a 3D engine. Thus more work left on the user-space side if wanting to leverage the GA100 with a fully open-source software stack.<\/p>\n<p>This drm-misc-next pull request adds that GA100 support to Nouveau along with adding a DSC quirk for the ASUS DC301 USB-C dock and various other small DRM driver fixes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.phoronix.com\/news\/Linux-7.2-Nouveau-GA100\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Linux 7.2&#8217;s Open-Source Nouveau Driver To Finally Support The NVIDIA GA100 https:\/\/www.phoronix.com\/news\/Linux-7.2-Nouveau-GA100 Publish Date: 2026-05-28&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":258325,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.phoronix.net\/image.php?id=2026&image=nvidia_a100","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[71],"class_list":["post-258322","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-linux","tag-linux"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258322"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=258322"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258322\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":258326,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258322\/revisions\/258326"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/258325"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=258322"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=258322"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=258322"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
