# Nvidia GPUs

Nvidia GPUs has always been a headache to run on Bliss OS. One of the reason is that apart from Nvidia own Terga SoC, there's no official support on Android for Nvidia GPUs.
On Bliss OS (or Android-x86 as a whole), Nvidia GPUs use an open-source driver called nouveau (same as Mesa3d Gallium driver). The driver is considered unstable compare to the official Nvidia driver on Linux, especially when it comes to reclocking support. nouveau can only be able to run in lowest clock speed due to lack of reclocking.

In this section, we will split the test results into 2 parts : laptop GPUs and desktop GPUs. Different from Intel or AMD, all of the current hardware support are using nouveau, nothing else.

# Desktop GPUs

Name	OpenGLES version	Vulkan version	Working	Tested Gralloc/HWC combination	VA-API	Notes
Nvidia Geforce GTX 1660 Super	3.1	N/A	⚠️	- default (gbm + drmfb) ⚠️ - gbm_nohack ⬛ - gbm_noscanout + drm_hwc ⬛ - gbm + drm_hwc ⬛ - minigbm + drmfb 🚫 - minigbm + drm_hwc 🚫 - minigbm_gbm_mesa + drmfb ⚠️ - minigbm_gbm_mesa + drm_hwc ⚠️	🚫	- On Bliss OS 15.8.4, Launcher3 will crash, But switching to other launcher is fine. - Lots of graphics bug - `vainfo` only show the GPU, meaning that this card isn't ready for hwaccel video decode yet.

# Laptop GPUs

Name	OpenGLES version	Vulkan version	Working	Tested Gralloc/HWC combination	VA-API	Tested Hardware	Notes
Nvidia GeForce MX230	N/A	N/A	🚫	N/A	🚫	- Dell Inspiron 3593	- This card is Muxless GPU, Android doesn't support hybrid graphics yet. It's better to just blacklist loading `nouveau` for integrated GPUs instead
