Hi,

if you're using a vanilla kernel, with boot option threadirqs
proprietary drivers could be used. If you build a rt patched kernel,
then regarding https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nvidia-rt/, there
nowadays seems to be no need to patch and pray anymore.

However, you should compare the free and the proprietary driver, since
they could affect the real-time quality, IOW one driver could be better
than the other. Regarding 3D abilities the nouveau not necessarily is
less good.

Ralf
