Impossible. Nvidia refuses to disclose any information about card specs,
so open source drivers are far beyond propietary drivers.
ATI has a more collaborative attitude towards open source developers
(thats why i would choose if i had the chance to pay for a card).
Anyway, if are not going to change your card from Nvidia to ATI or any
other, and you require full 3d power I would reccomend using nvidia and
its propietary drivers.
