A comment I read here (http://ostatic.com/blog/kdes-future-will-be-wayland) said that most of the reason Nouveau is slower than the closed-source Nvidia driver is because Nvidia is refusing to release documentation on how to control GPU clock speed.
Little thing here the open source nouveau is running at about half to 1/4 of the correct GPU clock speed. So if nvidia did release just how to control the clocks of there GPU correctly most of the performance issue would disappear. Yes some games would run faster with nouveau than there own drivers.
Is this true? If the devs behind Nouveau find out how to up the clock speed, would the claim made here really come true?
What are the chances Nvidia will release documentation (probably close to 0% I'd assume) or the Nouveau devs will discover, whether by reverse engineering or by some other means, on how to control clock speed?
