There is an <abstractions/nvidia> that you can include. I do not have
an nvidia myself, so I haven't paid much attention to what is available
with these control files, but I presume it allows applications to run
CUDA progams or use some wiz-bang 3d features.

It's up to you to figure out if the features are worth the risk.

Thanks
