It's not that I have a specific need. As you mention, the default nouveau 
driver is working fine. I'm not a gamer etc.  I have noticed that when i'm 
watching a streaming movie and i'm scrolling in another window it does affect 
the movie that is being streamed.

So, I'm simply trying to learn more about how drivers work, how they are 
installed or handled on linux systems, etc. In the future, I may want to have a 
desktop or laptop system that uses the workstation graphics cards, as some of 
the work I do could benefit from that. And those cards are more effective with 
proper drivers, etc. So, I'm just using this time of testing and getting to 
know the release candidate qubes.
