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.
For more information and a list of supported cards, see:

My legacy Nvidia card was not high-end, but it still works for me
with Nouveau/Mesa for normal work without heavy graphical tasks.<br>
Previously I also used Nvidia's proprietary driver, which was (and
still is) quite easy to install via their specific openSUSE
repositories. <br>
<br>
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:<br>

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. <br>
