    I can never remember their generation codenames, so here are the cards that represents:

    Maxwell: GTX 745, 750, 750 Ti, 950, 960, 970, 980, 980 TI, Titan X

    Pascal: GTX 1050, 1050 Ti, 1060, 1070, 1070 Ti, 1080, Titan Xp

    Volta: V100, GV100, Titan V

      that depends on the driver that directly talks to the gpu. these cards are still cryptographically locked down to stay on low clocks when it is not driven by the official driver

      the usual, nvidia being a dick made it hard to properly run vulkan on their older cards using linux, then mesa3d went like “you know what? we’ll do it ourselves” and now we’re here.
