I have been using nVidia since about 1995 and mostly with linux and
never had a problem with it, until Ubuntu Studio 14.04. I do not know if
it is Ubuntu Studio 14.04 or the nVidia driver. Something has changed, I
can not recommend nVidia any more. Trying to get the OpenCL to work is a
real pain in the butt. If and when it works, the next upgrade doesn’t
work again. I have almost given up on trying to have openCL in
Darktable.

I tested my K2000 with Ubuntu 14.04 and Windows 7 in a video editing
program called (Lightworks)
A couple of the test are shaders and playback.
Shaders Ubuntu 7254 fps Windows 177549 fps, 
Playback Ubuntu 132fps Windows 274fps
