I have been getting nvidia cards since I was a teenager (so for like 20 years) because their binary-only drivers have been dead simple to setup and had fantastic performance. Never had a problem.

I'm stuck with an Nvidia card in my work machine for the time being, but I have seen none of the issues @snov mentioned here. They're all either extreme outliers, or just plain made up by Wayland shills. The only, single, sole advantage Wayland currently has over X is per-monitor scaling; everything else is a step backwards in usability, stability, and features.
Hell, even scaling, I haven't had a problem with on X with nvidia.

I haven't had to fuck around with scaling up until very recently, with my most recent build, I fucked up and bought two different monitors with different DPIs. My fault, I fucked up, should've read the fine print.

Still, this works just fine:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
xrandr \
  --dpi 157 \
  --output DP-4 --primary --mode 3840x2160 --pos 0x0    --rotate normal \
  --output HDMI-0         --mode 1920x1080 --pos 3840x0 --rotate left --scale 1.7x1.7 \
  --output DP-1 --off --output DP-3 --off

I've got one normal monitor and then one very wide monitor that I have turned sideways to stack a bunch of web browsers for documentation and the farms and such.
