 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:

Packages I have installed in additional for Nvidia are

S | Name                      | Summary                                                     | Type
---+---------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+--------
i | kernel-firmware-nvidia    | Kernel firmware files for Nvidia Tegra and graphics drivers | package
i+ | nvidia-firmware-installer | Downloads and installs nVidia firmware                      | package

I have so far not tried NVIDIA Open GPU kernel modules, which according to this openSUSe blog seemingly work for Nvidias newer Turing/Ampere GPU platforms with Risc-V system processor.
