CUDA has been compatible with the open kernel modules for a while, in fact now that I looked it up, there's at least a handful of features that requires the open kernel drivers, including 1 CUDA specific one (DMABUF support):
I wonder if these open drivers will be permitted to implement HDMI 2.1 (e.g. 8k resolution)? Apparently the HDMI Forum has told AMD they cannot support HDMI 2.1 in their own open source drivers, which infuriatingly means the only way to get 8k over HDMI on Linux right now is to use Nvidia's closed drivers... Are we about to lose HDMI 2.1 entirely on Linux?
(I know, this is ridiculous and we should use DisplayPort instead. I'm just curious.)

Now I wonder why AMD can't do the same.
