These drivers are listed as "alpha quality", and they're not technically the full open driver, but how are they compared to Nouveau or the usual closed driver? How's the stability and performance?

I've used that package as well for a while. And depending on ones needs it is perfectly usable even for gaming. In this regard noticing a difference to the closed variant is difficult. And they've recently added G-Sync support.

The only reason I switched back is that at the time sleep/suspend support wasn't implemented yet. I think it still isn't, is it? Granted waking successfully from sleep to a functioning graphical desktop is hit or miss for me even with the closed driver variant.
