Quite literally the same GPU I have plugged in...

02:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GK208B
[GeForce GT 730] [10de:1287] (rev a1)

Works great here! Only other thing I can think of is that I avoid
applications with the letters "G" and "K" in their names,
and I'm
using xf86-video-nouveau ddx, whereas you might be using the "modeset"
ddx with glamor.

If all else fails, just remove nouveau_dri.so and/or boot with
nouveau.noaccel=1 -- should be perfect.

Cheers,

That has some impact on system responsiveness:

 CPU%		COMM
 339.7		firefox

Which is slightly less than perfect :)

nouveau.noaccel=1 did the trick. Is there any other, let's say
less CPU-intensive, way to fix nouveau?
