OK, i dont use breezy but i think i know what the problem is. Check the 
following :

1.  That the driver being used in /etc/X11/xorg.conf for your screencard is 
nvidia and not something like vesa etc.

2. In the same xorg.conf file check if it has : Load "glx" in there somewhere 
or something similair.

3. Is the open gl packages for your ubuntu system installed.

Any one of these can make video performance of nvidia cards slow. I hope this 
helps.
