Unless you need to use the console (nvidia-drivers don't provide a KMS |
| 15 |
fb console,) there's no reason to use Nouveau at the moment. The binary |
| 16 |
drivers perform better and save much more energy. With Nouveau, your |
| 17 |
GPU will be running full-on constantly. NVidia's drivers will reduce |
| 18 |
clocks and voltages when the card is idle. |

Other than that, you might want to use Nouveau in order to test it and |
| 21 |
file bug reports for it. |
