Those cards are well-supported by the Nouveau driver by now, aren't they?
Perhaps the largest shortcoming is that there
is no automated voltage and re-clocking (for
the core and/or memory) support based on
GPU requirements and thermal headroom (the
GPU and memory start at lower power base
clock speeds). Manual adjustments are
reasonably well supported via debugfs, but it
is still a manual process at this point and last
I looked is still marked as "incomplete" and
"experimental" by the developers (and
apparently certain combinations of settings
can result in GPU hangs/corruption or even
overheating damage). There has been
repeated talk about someone (i.e. the random
someone else who does not actually exist)
writing some sort of GPU governor, but it has
never happened. That certainly makes the
experience of using those cards far less
than optimal for some, driving those to the
proprietary driver (they want something that
just work).
