Noveau are very limiting and problematic (through no fault of those
who make them, who do a very good job).
If you have a fairly recent Nvidia you can try using the official open
drivers: nvidia-open.
With these drivers Nvidia equalizes with AMD. However, don't think
they are completely open: just like AMD, they have brought the parts
they want to keep closed into the firmware and leave only the open
parts in the driver.

My legacy Nvidia card was not high-end, but it still works for me
with Nouveau/Mesa for normal work without heavy graphical tasks.
Previously I also used Nvidia's proprietary driver, which was (and
still is) quite easy to install via their specific openSUSE
repositories.
But as I continuously upgrade my lp15.x and especially the
Tumbleweed rolling release in a dual-boot setup, it became extra
work and more error prone to keep up with Nvidia. Therefore I went
with Nouveau as part of the official openSUSE lp15.x stablel and tw
rolling releases:
