A big reason for the abysmal performance is however that nvidia has intentionally locked down the performance for code that doesn't have the right credentials. We don't know if Apple have done something similar.

I assume you mean reclocking support, it is possible to reclock the older Kepler architecture on open source drivers but it still underperforms

Kepler is anywhere from 2x to 10x faster on the proprietary driver here: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=nvidia-n...
