Severity: wishlist

Starting with the Maxwell GM20x generation[1], NVidia graphics cards
require signed firmware for most operations, the Nouveau driver does not
provide acceleration without the firmware.

In February 2016, NVidia finally made the firmware available in the
linux-firmware git repository, and with Linux 4.6 and Mesa 11.2 (both
currently in experimental) users should be able to get acceptable
performance out of their expensive cards without having to resort to the
proprietary driver.
