I only use FOSS DDX, so cannot make any such suggestions.
The FOSS driver gives me a non-black screen, but is very slow in painting it.
There are these FOSS drivers available for NVidia graphics:
FBDEV VESA Nouveau DDX Modesetting DDX
I think I find the nouveau driver. On my host, I have the packages libdrm_nouveau2-2.4.97-lp151.1.1.x86_64 libdrm_nouveau2-32bit-2.4.97-lp151.1.1.x86_64 libvdpau_nouveau-18.3.2-lp151.22.4.x86_64 Mesa-dri-nouveau-18.3.2-lp151.22.4.x86_64 Mesa-dri-nouveau-32bit-18.3.2-lp151.22.4.x86_64 xf86-video-nouveau-1.0.15-lp151.4.1.x86_64 Modesetting seems to be included somewhere. Ah, yes. rpm -qf /usr/share/man/man4/modesetting.4.gz xorg-x11-server-1.20.3-lp151.3.1.x86_64
The first two are generic, primarily for emergency and/or troubleshooting use. They are both very very slow. Normally one of the first two is used for X when the nouveau kernel driver is blacklisted. The Nouveau DDX and/or kernel's nouveau are typically blacklisted when a non-FOSS NVidia driver is installed. This prevents use of the two competent FOSS DDX. I believe this accounts for your "very slow in painting". I would like to have seen your Xorg.0.log and/or 'inxi -Gxx' output from before installing the NVidia drivers to be sure.
Only from now: inxi -Gxx Graphics: Device-1: NVIDIA GP107 [GeForce GTX 1050 Ti] driver: nvidia v: 430.26 bus ID: 01:00.0 chip ID: 10de:1c82 Display: server: X.Org 1.20.3 driver: nvidia unloaded: fbdev,modesetting,nouveau,vesa alternate: nv compositor: kwin_x11 resolution: 1920x1200~60Hz, 1920x1200~60Hz OpenGL: renderer: llvmpipe (LLVM 7.0 256 bits) v: 3.3 Mesa 18.3.2 compat-v: 3.1 direct render: Yes "hwinfo --gfxcard" says (among others) Driver Info #0: Driver Status: nouveau is active Driver Activation Cmd: "modprobe nouveau" Driver Info #1: Driver Status: nvidia_drm is active Driver Activation Cmd: "modprobe nvidia_drm" Driver Info #2: Driver Status: nvidia is active Driver Activation Cmd: "modprobe nvidia" xrandr is confused and tells me I got 2 screens, attached via HDMI-I (1920x1200+0+0) and DP-1 (1920x1200+1920+0). Quite false, there is only one HDMI cable attached, and KDEsettings tell me 3840x2160.
The blacklisting probably survived the upgrade from 15.0 to 15.1, without a corresponding NVidia driver matching the 15.1 kernel.
/etc/modprobe.d> grep -rin noveau * I don't think it has survived...
The modesetting is the upstream default, but a default openSUSE installation installs the upstream optional xf86-video-nouveau DDX package, preventing its use until such time as the optional DDX is uninstalled, or the modesetting DDX is specified through /etc/X11/xorg.con*.
The files matching /etc/X11/xorg.conf.* have been touched last in November 2018 (two have "nvidia-xconfig" in their first line). Files inside /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 361 20.

I find neither "modes" nor "sett" inside the files.
I use only the modesetting with all non-ancient NVidia graphics that it supports. Its every bit as fast as my eyes can follow on 2560x1440. I had a 3840x2160, but returned it for several reasons, among which eyestrain trying to configure it to eliminate the eyestrain.
Up to (and including) 42.3, I had no problems using the proprietary nVidia driver. I used to make the display fitting to my eyesight (-4.5 dpt). I still say that you better have a screen > 30" to work with 3840x2160, I have only 27", and my company offered the same size. I'm using 2 x 1920x1200 (24") screens here now... with Intel "HD Graphics 630", Driver i915, BTW. How do you configure "modesetting" as the default driver?
