Nouveau-Maxwell

So.. You came here to explore how to get nouveau with Maxwell Card! The 900-series of NVIDIA card. Keep in mind this information is for people with either water-cooling or have the original fans unmounted.

In this example we use a GTX 980Ti (GM200) which is so called "Ghetto-modded" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noViVaE0ClE

This is what we need to change

We use linux-next here so keep in mind!

in linux/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nvkm/engine/device/base.c

Under

       .bus = gf100_bus_new,

Add

       .clk = gk104_clk_new,

Replace

       .pmu = gm200_pmu_new,

With

       .pmu = gm107_pmu_new,

.. recompile the kernel (that's out of the scope of this document)

in /lib/modprobe.d/ or /etc/modprobe.d/ put this in the nouv.conf file:

   options nouveau config=NvClkMode=13,NvMemExec=1

I've tried before with NvClkMode=15 and NvBoost=2 but that failed on my 980ti with crashes.
