Well, it's not really an option if your needs are, primarily, to play shoot- em-ups. Then, your only realistics options are either MS-Windows, or dealing with Nvidia's proprietary driver, and regular kernel breakages that result from using it.
But, for most folks who only need accelerated video to pacify Gnome 3, and to play Youboob videos, Nouveau should work just fine. I have a geforce gtx 285 card, which is NV4x chipset I think, and nouveau works fine for me.
