Greets all;

I have a PNY, PCI-e, GForce 9400 GT card still in the box. What sort of
support will it have with the neauvou (sp) driver when I install F13 beta?

You can get a basic overview of what is complete here (that is an NV50
based card):

http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/FeatureMatrix

But it changes regularly and I bet that updating the FeatureMatrix is
not a top priority when there is development work to be done. You will
probably get the same or more functionality to that promised in the
FeatureMatrix.

I also have an NV50 based card in my Work Desktop, and I'm interested
in the results you get as I can't just tinker with my workstation as I
need it to work!

F13 on my Intel-based laptop hums along nicely though ;o)

Also with nvidia proprietary drivers you get to overclock your Nvidia
These cards handle OC very well.
My 550 MHz 9400 gt is overclocked to 700MHz and handles it well

NVclock is a very useful tool to get the most out of your card

Nouveau will not support any of these added features

Cuda is a big one since the device handles hardware decoding and with
some software will speed up video encoding dramatically

I know Win 7 developed the cuda right into the OS to handle video
encoding and decoding and I do not know if Fedora is following suit but
GPU computing is the way of the future.
Nvidia 9400 gt adds 52 gflops of computational speed to the system @ 700 MHz
40 gflops at native speed

9400 gt is a low end card

nvidia 295 will blow your mind with 400 gflops added to a system and
that is a conservative estimate

Have you ever use CUDA on Fedora? If so, what apps were these?
