Tommi,
Here at the Martinos Center we use the proprietary drivers from NVIDIA. We have no reasons to believe the Nouveau drivers would work better, but that isnt to say one doesnt exist.

Hi,
Is there a FreeSurfer/MNE (maybe even FSL, TrackVis) recommendation to use the "noveau" drivers that come with CentOS 6.5 or would it be better to go with the proprietary drivers from NVIDIA?
I would imagine that since FS 5.3 does not use GPU for analysis, this is mainly relevant for visualization (freeview etc) requiring 3D rendering of volumes, surfaces, and tractography results simultaneously.
In case it matters, Dell Precision T7500 + NVIDIA Quadra FX 5800 here.
Thanks!
Tommi
