yes, according to the nvidia linux driver README

The latest driver does not support your card, so the 96.43.XX series is 
the only one you can use.

  and the effects do infact work, but not
> the cube...I am running Ubuntu Gusty 7.10

The cube is not enabled by default, instead some other desktop switching 
plugin is enabled, and you cannot have both at once.

Install ccsm (sudo apt-get install ccsm), run it, and enable the "Rotate 
Cube" plugin (it will probably ask you to disable/enable a few others).
