@Triro Nouveau works fine on my system. Lenovo ThinkPad T61p with Quadro FX 570M (G84M). That's equivalent to the GeForce 8 series. From what I can tell nouveau supports reclocking up through "Fermi" which means the GeForce 400 and older all should work fine. GeForce 500 up to and including the "Pascal" (GeForce 10) should mostly work fine in nouveau, just with reduced performance due to lack of reclocking. The "Maxwell" (GeForce 800 and some 700) are supported by the latest proprietary drivers. So it's only the cards released between 2010 and 2014 which you need to worry about if you're using Wayland.
