Attention:
Please keep in mind that the graphics card is not everything, the Linux kernel contained in Recalbox must also be able to handle the device.
Nouveau is a project of the X.Org foundation and Freedesktop.org to provide royalty-free Nvidia graphics drivers by reverse engineering.
Nouveau is based on the free (but obscure) nv drivers maintained by Nvidia for 2D support.
To support OpenGL, the project uses Mesa 3D, but changed in February 2018 by its successor Gallium3D4.5. OpenCL support is also done through Gallium3D.
The project uses the technique known as reverse engineering on Nvidia graphics cards by studying how the 3D drivers for Linux, provided by the manufacturer (under a proprietary license), work without touching the drivers. This way of doing things allows the project to avoid conflicts with the Nvidia license.
Note:
New drivers are used by default when an Nvidia graphics card is detected but not compatible with the official drivers.
Nvidia graphics cards are compatible with the official driver in its version 515.57 which you can find the list of compatible graphics cards here.
