It is wonderful that the nouveau driver works out of the box not on my GTX 750 Ti and 4K monitor, but I have just been noticing a weird thing:
Using google-chrome with the window resized to be a good chunk of the full 4K screen, when scrolling a page, it looks like big diagonal chunks of page are scrolling independently till it all settles down again when I stop scrolling. Or maybe like a wave is running across the screen.
I don't know if it will get irritating enough to send me back to nvidia binary drivers or not :-).
Weirdly, it does seem to be isolated to google-chrome. I just scrolled through the same page on firefox and didn't see the effect.

Found the "smooth scrolling" option in chrome://flags and disabled it. I no longer see irritating waves on the screen :-).

You beat me to it. Also, some browsers have a use hardware acceleration option, that may be best on or off, depending on your hardware.
For me, the smooth option did give a smooth, but very slow scroll. It was like trying to slide something that's stuck to ice. Terrible for when you need to skim through a page to find something, or when your reading speed is much faster than the scroll.
