My only Nvidea experience is a coupla weeks now in August on XTX Geforge GTS 260 card on the nouveau driver, while waiting for a new PSU for my 4890. FG frame rates was "15-20ish" and I was able to bog it down once I started piling up on eye candy.

Easy. ;o) ..the interesting part in this thread here, is I see precisely the same "psycedelic" rendering errors with the 4890 on the radeon driver, as I see with GTS 260 on the nouveau driver, hence my suggestion you nvidea guys "take a nouveau look" if you don't have a radeon card handy.
