Testing used the Nouveau driver with Zink/NVK for the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPU and local kernel builds due to unreliable Ubuntu Mainline Kernel PPA builds. Results across dozens of workloads show a mix of performance gains and regressions in the still-in-development 7.3 kernel. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
