In the past I have had both success and failure with the nVidia (and ATI fglrx) binary drivers on RT patched kernels. To be fair I have had the same problems with most proprietary 3rd party kernel modules (Vmware I am looking at you and your crappy modules!!!).
I would not say that you could not use the binary drivers, but I would avoid that hardware if possible (newer ATI devices use the radeonhd driver which is part of the stock kernel and should work better with RT kernels, I have not tested this yet). Hth,
