This kind of study really annoys me. From the article:

The NVIDIA driver has a huge cost: you know the day NVIDIA wants your card to be obsolete and replaced, they'll stop shipping the driver.

Only if your don't value your freedom, the NVIDIA driver has no cost (but then you're better with MacOS or Windows).
