Sure is; if it wasn't true, the applications that used to work would
still work. They haven't changed.

It's my experience, and I don't really care what opinions other people
have about this. Such opinions don't change the fact that NVIDIA cards
have always been working great for me with the drivers provided by
NVIDIA.
If you know an alternative that gives me at least the same performance,
reliability and trouble-free operation for the same money which
exclusively uses free software, then let me know what it is. I'd be
happy to see such an alternative.
