Yes, they are. Of the big three (Intel, AMD, Nvidia), only the Nvidia drivers aren't open source (there's an open source driver for Nvidia, called "nouveau", but it doesn't come from the manufacturer and isn't that good).

- happymellon 5y agoIt doesn't do reclocking on any modern card, so the power consumption is vastly higher than it needs to be. There are other points that aren't directly applicable to gaming which just aren't as great. Nouveau are pretty open and honest about how their driver will never be that great on the modern cards because Nvidia doesnt want it to be.
