  • Anything lower than RTX 16/20 series has no reclocking on nouveau, meaning it can only run at slowest speed making basically useless for gaming.

    DXVK/VKD3D are the translation layers usually used to translate the DirectX graphics api to Vulkan. Nouveau doesn’t even have a Vulkan driver (only OpenGL) except for the pretty recent NVK. I don’t think Debian even ships or enables NVK, with how recent it is and Debian’s packages are usually relatively old.

    At least for anything older than RTX 16/20 series you need Nvidia’s proprietary driver to get any usable performance (unless you go really old) and even for newer GPUs it will take time for NVK to become comparable to the proprietary driver.
