In some cases nvidia drivers do not fully work correct, but you can at least ask questions in nvnews.net and see if some devs will look at the issue. In most cases those are not known or hard to reproduce. Also you do not have to wait from month to month for next drivers, but they are released if needed (can be longer than a month too).
Slightly offtopic but do you also expect such differences to be between two Gallium drivers for different vendor's cards? (eg Intel vs Ati)Quote:

So there will probably be less variability. But right now, very few applications are being designed with open-source drivers in mind at all, so we'll have to see how it goes.
