It's exactly the same. I'm now using nv drivers with my card and everything is fine. With nvidia drivers I can't set a 60hz refresh rate for my LCD.

You can add refresh rate after screen resolution in "Display" section of your xorg.conf like this:

    SubSection     "Display"
        Viewport    0 0
        Depth       24
        Modes      "1024x768_85"
    EndSubSection

Check also linux forums on nvnews.net - there are many similar topics.

Hi

60Hz works fine. My xorg Section:

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Nvidia 0"
    Driver      "nvidia"
    VendorName  "NVIDIA"
    Option      "HorizSync"
    Option      "VertRefresh" "60"
    Option      "UseEdidDpi"   "FALSE"
    Option      "DPI"   "96 x 96"
    Option      "XvMC"          "true"
    Option      "XvmcUsesTextures" "true"
    Option      "RenderAccel"   "true"
    Option      "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true"
    BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
    Screen 0
EndSection
