Basic question: why are NVIDIA open drivers unable to run games? Is it unable to run complex commands too?
From what I understand Nvidia requires drivers to be cryptographically signed to do anything non-trivial. This is pure evil.
UEFI Secure Boot ended up being a pretty good example of how to do cryptographic requirements well: require signatures, but allow the owner of the hardware to use their own keys
Afaik the free drivers can’t control the clocks so the the card runs at low clock the whole time and is really slow. Not sure about features but I think it runs most games fine in terms of that.
Spoiler: they don’t.
Games go black screen if you try running them with open drivers. This could be hard coded.
They can run everything the API implements (which is pretty much everything), they just can’t use all of the hardware in the graphics card so you have a performance hit
Does it run Osrs? Lol.
You bet
