Hey,

iam building a libreboot workstation and would like to check if the gtx 750 ti works with linux-libre and bouveau.

Has anyone experience with this card and can confirm that it works good?

Some models have displayport 1.2 connections and it would be awesome if i could use this with a 4k display on 60hz with nouveau but i dont know if this works or how good the displayport connection from nouveau is.

I have GTX 750 ti with hdmi, dvi and vga outputs and it works fine with Trisquel 10 and Nouveau. I'm not running it currently though. If I remember correctly it wasn't quite fast (with Tuxcart no max settings). I had two monitors on and desktop was smoooth. Hope this helps.

This was probably because the card was running at a low frequency. The card will not change frequency based on demand. It is possible to change the frequency though. To do so run the following:

sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/pstate

You should see something like the below:

07: core 405 MHz memory 810 MHz
0f: core 270-1241 MHz memory 5400 MHz
AC: core 405 MHz memory 810 MHz

For playing games, change the clock with the following command:

echo 0f | sudo tee /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/pstate

The screen will likely flicker. You can confirm the setting was changed by running the "cat" command again. The following will be the output:

07: core 405 MHz memory 810 MHz
0f: core 270-1241 MHz memory 5400 MHz AC DC *
AC: core 1012 MHz memory 5400 MHz

The "*" indicates which state is selected. Also, notice that the frequency listed for "AC" has changed.

Then, when finished playing, change it back with the following command:

echo 07 | sudo tee /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/pstate

I don't have a 750 Ti but I do have a GTX 760 and a GTX 780 Ti and both work on Trisquel 10 through Displayport for me so I would expect a 750 Ti to as well. I use them on a 1080P 144Hz screen.

Of course GTX 760 and 780 would work - they're both Kepler. But 750 is Maxwell architecture. Maxwell might have some trouble with Nouveau, if I remember correctly.

Yes as far as i know has the maxwell gen 2 architecture no good support but gtx 750 (ti) is gen 1.
Tomorrow i will get my gtx 750 ti and then we will know some more :)

I too ran my GTX 1750Ti on Trisquel-10 and Nouveau and for 12 hours have been running it on Trisquel-11 beta. As others report, it is slow when running glxspheres, which uses the Intel driver, but it runs well with browsers and vlc.

"I too ran my GTX 1750Ti"

Did you mean GTX 750 Ti instead of GTX 1750 Ti ?

This is a follow-up correction to my comment of 10/11/2022 in response to the question of PublicLewdness. Updated and corrected, it should read "I ran my GTX 1650 Ti on Trisquel-10 and for a few weeks on Trisquel-11-beta". The rest of what I originally wrote does not need change. I apologize for the error and again if it is too far off topic.
