Hi Ilia. My version is 10.0.1, but the most precise I could specify when filing
the bug was 10.0.

I have followed your instructions and installed the fw with the aur/nouveau-fw
package in Archlinux and added the kernel option too, but the performance seems
to not change and I could reproduce the bug, though I am not really sure if the
changes resulted in using the firmware correctly. How can I check that?
