how do I find out what driver I need for my nvid GTX 260
I found for my nvidia GTX 260 that I have to use the proprietary nVidia driver in order to get any decent performance. The openGL driver is horribly slow for the GTX260, and the vesa driver is not much better for the GTX 260.

There is guidance here: NVIDIA - openSUSE

In my case, I prefered to do it per the titel "the hardway" - which leads one here: NVIDIA/The hard way - openSUSE

Note one needs linux-kernel-headers, kernel-source and kernel-syms installed, plus the base development pattern (in YaST software management) installed, for this to work.
