I can only agree, NVIDIA's proprietary drivers are the best! I manage a GPU cluster for CUDA computation, with two GF 8800, two GF 9800, two Tesla C870 and two Tesla C1060. The Teslas have the GF 8400 as video. Some machines run RedHat Enterprise Linux 4, others RHEL 5. I can use the same version of the drivers on all the nodes flawlessly. And new versions of the driver have always supported both versions of the OS.
It is a pity that there are no open source good quality drivers, but the proprietary ones are 100%.
