You haven't given very much detail here but I suspect you haven't enabled your 
nVidia's restricted driver. Try going through

System -> Administration -> Restricted Drivers Manager

and check the driver for your nVida card if it's not already checked. I 
believe then you'll need to either reboot or log out and back in using CTRL + 
ALT + BKSP
