### NVIDIA GSP Firmware

The NVIDIA GSP Firmware can **"in some cases"** lead to decreased performance. While the 555.58.02 NVIDIA Driver has largely addressed this issue, it may persist on certain systems.
If you are facing hiccups in KDE or bad performance in some cases, you can disable the GSP Firmware with the following config file:
`/etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-gsp.conf`

```text
options nvidia NVreg_EnableGpuFirmware=0
```

After creating the file, execute the following command:
```sh
sudo mkinitcpio -P
```

:::note
NVIDIA's [open kernel modules](https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules) are based on GSP firmware. Due to this, GSP cannot be disabled and this modprobe option will be ignored when using them. Use `linux-cachyos-nvidia` or `nvidia-dkms`.
:::

It's generally recommended to test the GSP firmware after each new NVIDIA driver installation, as it often introduces beneficial features. Moreover, NVIDIA primarily started conducting QA testing using the GSP firmware.
