When qubes will support modern nvdia Graphic cards ?

When qubes will support GTX 1060 ? Or how qubes can support it ? Because it's laggy with several opened browser tabs with the only CPU graphic working.

Which kernel are You running? If You're on 4.4 try updating to 4.8 and see if it gets better.

Upgrated to 4.8.12-12 following this : https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/managing-vm-kernel/#installing-different-kernel-using-qubes-kernel-package
But still does not work screen freeze on boot.

According to the nouveau page support for Pascale architecture would require Nvidia to release firmware blobs (something they haven't done yet) so either install the proprietary driver in dom0 or switch over to the integrated GPU

Ok thank you for these precious informations. Installing proprietary driver in dom0 seems to be difficult (https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/install-nvidia-driver/).

According to your link, ('Sadly this code is coming just too late for making the Linux 4.11 merge window, so this support likely won't be merged until Linux 4.12') the other option is to wait qubes support Linux 4.12 ?

Or for the code to be backported to older kernels.
