Title:
  vsync is disabled by default in nouveau

Status in Accelerated Xorg driver for nVidia cards:
  Fix Released
Status in Ubutter: Making Ubuntu buttery smooth:
  Fix Released
Status in “xserver-xorg-video-nouveau” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Sync-to-vblank support is disabled by default in the nouveau driver.
  This makes the desktop tear badly, and look ugly, on nvidia systems.

  It's also inconsistent, as radeon and intel both have sync-to-vblank
  enabled by default.

  
  WORKAROUND:
  /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

  Section "Device"
          Identifier "My Graphics"
          Driver "nouveau"
          Option "GLXVBlank" "on"
  EndSection

  
  ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:
  Quite simply because otherwise performance in the default unity/compiz 
session is awful. There is  very visible tearing when moving windows, switching 
workspaces ect, ect.
  Can't see why you'd leave it up to the users to enable thru xorg.conf
