Works well for direct rendering in Suse, but hard to get TV-OUT support even with nvtv as it does not load. A look at the supported list in the nvidia package shows a skip over of the 5500 series.

Works fine with the Nvidia driver. Had to edit X11 settings to make my computer use the card for certain applications.
