Nvidia Fully Transitions to Open-Source GPU Kernel Modules

Nvidia's upcoming R560 driver release will see most modern GPUs using open-source kernel modules, enhancing performance and capabilities.

Nvidia's open-source GPU kernel modules now match or surpass proprietary driver performance.
New features include Heterogeneous Memory Management and confidential computing support.
The transition applies to Turing, Ampere, Ada Lovelace, and Hopper architectures.
Older GPUs like Maxwell, Pascal, and Volta will continue using proprietary drivers.
User-space driver components remain closed-source, limiting full open-source integration.
