The chances of getting Nouveau working well on older Nvidia hardware are essentially zero. There are legal issues with firmware redistribution. > Little hope of reclocking becoming available for GM20x, GP10x and GV100 as firmware now needs to be signed by NVIDIA to have the necessary access From https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/
