On the plus side, the nouveau driver seems to work just fine for me to drive two 1920x1080 displays attached to my nvidia card via HDMI. Do you absolutely need the NVIDIA driver? Admittedly, the card in that particular machine is not very new (GeForce GT 710B), but I don't see a compelling reason to shift to the NVIDIA drivers for this test box as everything nouveau seems to be working. I'm sure I could likely get a bit better frame rates for graphical intensive things, but if you are doing that, and if nouveau works with your chipset and card, I would consider it.
