As of NVIDIA proprietary driver version 535.43.02, both the Linux kernel driver and the GSP firmware binary are allowed to be redistributed by anyone. Before this, operating system maintainers required explicit written permission from NVIDIA to distribute these files. [21][22] The GSP firmware will also allow the open source drivers to perform better. They will have the ability to support newer hardware and run them at higher clock speeds while gaming or lower clock speeds while idle. [23]
