NVidia has always been a headache for me. I run ATI on Linux. I use xmonad as a window manager, and NVidia's proprietary drivers just didn't handle multiple screens correctly. I switched to free drivers, and they did one fewer monitor than I was driving. I switched to ATI, and then things just worked. What's more surprising is that ATI doesn't take this opening.

At some point Nvidia crippled their drivers if you didn't have a Quadro on Linux. Eg: No multi-monitor. Not sure how of that they do now. So some guy resoldered some resistors on a GTX 690 (at the time the highest spec card they sold). To make it identify as the Quado with same specs. https://hackaday.com/2013/03/18/hack-removes-firmware-crippling-from-nvidia-graphics-card/ https://hackaday.com/2013/03/18/hack-removes-firmware-crippl...

AMD purchased ATI in 2006, and the brand hasn't been in use since 2010..
