I was using a similar card, and was also unhappy with the 2D graphics. I don't quite know what to tell you. I've since bought a Matrox G550, which has vastly improved the situation for me. I've heard that NVIDIA's linux drivers are improving, however, so I'd suggest you give that a try since they don't release the specs on their hardware anyways. It might be that the XFREE86 driver is a little buggy, and trying the proprietary drivers might show some difference (I use Matrox's drivers, and I'm happy). Also, having a refresh rate of 80 or 85 should make some difference, of course.
