Excuse my ignorance but how can I tweak the latency timer for pci cards?

Btw I got some problems with my  nvidia graphics card. When I compile new a

kernel with low latency and preempt patches(actually with the low latency

patch only is ok ) Applying the preemt patch and loading the nv or nvidia

drivers gives me a nice kernel oops.
I dont think I am gonna buy anymore nvidia products from now on, they taint my

nice GPL kernel

later,
