Just my 2 cents worth but as far as I can tell there is no hardware acceleration available from the nv driver. 340 fps is seriously poor for the small window of gears, and bout right for no hardware accelertion, try 6000 (yup 6000) fps with hardware acceleration and a reasonable to good modern graphics card. I cant see the open source drivers getting close :o( for a very very very long time.
