Try installing the latest nvidia driver.

You may wish Alberto Milone's excellent Envy utility that automatizes the job.

its generally reccomended to stick with the ubuntu version of the binary nvidia driver if your running a recent version of ubuntu do:
goto system -> administration -> Restricted Drivers Manager and install the nvidia driver from there

or do:
sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new

you can find more information here:
