I've used three Nvidia cards in various builds and have had only little
problems with any of them. The first one was an old 5600 LS (??), an 8800 GTS,
and currently a GTX 260. The only headache I had was when I put the GTX 260
in Kubuntu 8.04, the driver that made it work was not packaged for Hardy, I
did not feel like bashing my head against the wall with a manual install.
Since the entire Nvidia 9 series is really just the 8 series on steroids, I
would take a guess that it will work like a charm. I never had any problems
with my 8800. It's currently in my kid's machine and he is happily playing
Spore, extreme Tux racer, etc. I'm pretty sure it's using the 180 driver.
