Yeah, this sometimes happens with nouveau, especially with larger
framebuffers such as what you get with multiple monitors. Sometimes
you see nouveau complaining a lot in the dmesg output. Anyway the
nouveau developers are aware of these issues but I'm told they are
complex to solve and might take a while.

The nvidia blob might work better for you, but it has other problems
like missing to implement the latest xrandr APIs.
