No, it isn't. It's the free driver for Nvidia graphics hardware, not
your AMD/ATI Radeon. AMD Catalyst is the proprietary driver with a Linux
version. For newer chipsets it has been replaced with a free open driver
that would not help you.

You assume that a proprietary driver will work better when in fact it
is completely uncertain whether that will be true.

First you should figure out whether Xorg still works fine for you as
Samuel Sieb has pointed out in another reply. In case your problems are
specific to Wayland, you may want to report that in bugzilla.
