[SLE] Are Nvidia drivers worth the effort?

To install the nvidia drivers I need to upgrade my kernel (apparently),
currently using 2.6.16.13-4-default. To upgrade my kernel I have to download
it and presumably the src code for it. Not a problem in itself, but I then
have to get my wireless card working with the new kernel (It's a D-Link G520)
not supported as standard. This means I have to obtain and compile / install
the madwifi package as well.
Once I have done all this and re-booted and re-configured my wireless network
card I can get access to the net again and then download and install the
drivers.
So the question is - Is it worth it? Are the nvidia drivers so much better
than the standard x-org ones? I guess if your running fast games etc. then it
probably is, but what other advantages will it give me?
