There is no "bug". A bug would be a feature not working correctly. But what we have here is a feature (specifically overclocking) not being there at all, because the devs consciously decided not to implement it. Big difference.
Reclocking is switching between pre-programmed performance levels. It's there in the nvidia driver. Beginnings of it are in nouveau as well, but to provide it fully, the nouveau devs will need to do what they need to do for any other feature - reverse-engineer it.
Err, what? Doing nothing means... doing nothing.
They stopped developing the nv driver. But they didn't "cut" or "remove" anything from it.
Reclocking is switching between pre-programmed performance levels. Overclocking is setting freqs beyond those pre-programmed ones. The two need to be implemented separately.
Wait, wait, didn't you say before reclocking is absent? You did, I even quoted it! Who's the troll here, I wonder.
Again, they didn't "remove" it, they never implemented it. And no, your conspiracy theory is not the only reason for that.
Overclocking is dangerous. Today's GPUs are beasts that produce a lot of heat, that have different parts clocked differently at a given moment, and those clocks are dynamically changing all the time. To mess with that and keep stability of the whole thing requires a very, very careful implementation. The Nvidia devs decided it would take too much time to tackle this challenge, so they decided to simply not tackle it.

Lolwut? I am incorrect in everything because I define reclocking as RE[1]CLOCKING[2]?!
Gusar, you forgot to "edit the internet" before trolling me
You know exactly what I meant, when I said:
Its like car with automatic shift. There is no shift outside, but there is shifting inside. And you can't control it and its hidden deeply within the obfuscated logic.
Yet you try contradict me
Your are either stupid or purposely lying, both kindergarten - for children or big children. Take your pick.
Maybe, after you "edit the internet" on reclocking definition, and after trolling Michael Larabel, you go troll car industry.![]()
