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.

A new iteration of open-source drivers for NVIDIA cards which aims to work better and be more feature-complete. Original announcement post here which explains a bit better.

Is it still gonna be super slow because you can’t reclock or is that fixed now?

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
