I have had a LOT of trouble using stock drivers on nvidia. Generally, I get outright crashes, screen freezes, and other nasty artifacts, and have to install the nvidia custom driver right away after the install. (For instance, on this machine I am typing on, I had 3 crashes before I got around to doing the nvidia driver install, they all looked like video problems. After putting in the proprietary driver, it has been stable. Unstable CNC controls are NOT a good idea!)
