The new Ubuntu 14.04 comes with nvidia driver options. My system(Dell XPS) uses nvidia-331. For starters it messed up my text font size. It is so freakishly small with nvidia drivers on.
So my question is:
Are these drivers really necessary?
What performance gain do they provide?
Will it help me save some battery life?
Basically what are these drivers doing that I was missing before (with nouveau I guess)?
