Recenty I had to fall back to nouveau for some issues with kernel
compilation. I noticed that nouveau is OK but spits out a lot of errors
similar to the ones you mentioned. Other than that my Gnome is working
fine.

I'd test with NVIDIA driver, see if you have better results.

Nouveau is driver by reverse engineering the Nvidia's proprietary Linux 
drivers so new features like supporting the Nvidia 850M might not be so
supported.
