The open-source drivers for nvidia have historically been useless; these days they're not so bad, but still not great, especially if you have recently-released hardware. However the official nvidia drivers have been pretty good for years now. There's a few tricky parts around building them, enabling right GL libraries and matching to the right kernel configs if you are doing it yourself, but if you use a distribution like Ubuntu or a derivative then you can just install their pre-packaged drivers and it all Just Works and you can get on with your life.
