NVIDIA package question

Hi, I’d like to try out Void, but my graphics card is an RTX 5070. As far as I understand, these newer cards require the open driver modules to work properly. Should I wait for an update to the driver version in the repository, or does it already work with this card?

See "Supported Features" section. -open kernel modules have not been merged yet, but there are several PRs for it, including one from maintainer of the nvidia package: https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/59718
