Video decoding is not supported for Maxwell+. Not sure what you mean by "computing" functionality, but e.g. OpenGL's compute shaders should be reasonably well-supported on that GPU. > > So, I guess I should give a hand to Nouveau developers.

You should join us at #nouveau on irc.freenode.net to discuss further what some suitable projects might be. I've found that people fixing their own issues first is the best way to start in a project, since you end up with very concrete goals. -ilia _______________________________________________ Nouveau mailing list [email protected] https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/nouveau
