sounds like it is using the provided 'nv' instead of the new nvidia
driver.  btw, which version did you install?  I am successfully using
NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-100.14.03-pkg2.run

do from command-line:  glxinfo | grep direct
you should get:  direct rendering: Yes

if not, do from command-line:  grep -i nv /etc/X11/xorg.conf
if it returns nv and not nvidia, as root from a console in runlevel 3, 
run either:
  nvidia-xconfig
  or
  sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia
