 hardware, and is required to use a large portion of the available Wayland
 compositors.
 
-At the time of writing, graphics cards starting with second generation Maxwell
-(GTX 9xx) are unable to perform at their full potential with `nouveau`. This is
-because the `linux-firmware` collection is missing signed firmware blobs needed
-to reclock these cards past their boot frequencies.
-
-To use `nouveau` with Wayland, you only need the `mesa-dri` package, which
-provides the accelerated OpenGL driver. On X11, you also need an appropriate
-Xorg driver. You can either install `xf86-video-nouveau` or use the universal
-`modesetting` driver bundled with Xorg (this is the only option on Tegra based
-ARM boards). The former can make use of GPU-specific 2D acceleration paths,
-which is primarily useful on older cards with specialized fixed function
-hardware (the `modesetting` driver will accelerate 2D using OpenGL via GLAMOR).
-When in doubt, it's a good idea to try `xf86-video-nouveau` first.
-
-Note: `xf86-video-nouveau` is usually installed by default if you use the `xorg`
-metapackage. If you use `xorg-minimal`, you will need to install it manually,
-either directly or through `xorg-video-drivers`.
+### OpenGL
+
+The accelerated OpenGL driver is provided by `mesa-dri`. This is a dependency of
+the `xorg` metapackage, but must be manually installed when using `xorg-minimal`
+or a Wayland compositor.
+
+### Vulkan
+
+Cards starting with Kepler (GTX 6xx) are supported by the Vulkan nouveau driver.
+Install `vulkan-loader` and `mesa-vulkan-nouveau`. Older cards may perform
+poorly or unreliably with Vulkan.
+
+### Xorg
+
+The `xorg` metapackage pulls in the `xf86-video-nouveau` video driver. This will
+need to be manually installed when `xorg-minimal` is installed instead. You can
+also use the universal `modesetting` driver bundled with Xorg (this is the only
+option on Tegra-based ARM boards). When in doubt, it's a good idea to try
+`xf86-video-nouveau` first. This driver will likely perform better.
+
+### Reclocking
+
+Only first generation Maxwell, Kepler, and some Tesla cards support manual
+reclocking. Cards past Turing (GTX 16xx) support automatic reclocking. Graphics
+cards starting with second generation Maxwell (GTX 9xx) do not support
+reclocking because the `linux-firmware` collection is missing signed firmware
+blobs needed to reclock these cards past their boot frequencies.
