What you lose is the functionality of the closed source accelerated 3D driver support unless you pick up the 8K patched kernel.

If you play 3D games on FC1 now hold off until nVidia releases an update to their drivers or use the patched 8K stack kernel. -- T o m M i t c h e l l /dev/null the ultimate in secure storage.
