rt-sources, as supported by Ingo, Thomas, Steven, Daniel and others,

will be guaranteed, and don't bother reporting rt-problems if you use
one. The problem with the closed source drivers is there is no way to
look at the code to guarantee it's written in a real-time safe manner.
Therefore you use them at your own risk in terms of real-time
operation.

I'm using
now one of musix, but I can't build my nvidia driver on it.
In my experience, nvidia drivers are much worse and harder to get working
than the realtime kernel -- even the free software ones. I'd imagine that
specific problem has a lot more to do with those drivers than the rt kernel.
