The generic nv driver doesn't do hardware 3D, only software OpenGL.
If you try running anything beyond glxgears (which is not a benchmark
[1]), you'll soon face the limitation of the software OpenGL
implementation.
In short, it won't even run tuxracer.

As for the OP, I'd try older ATI cards (which are built around the R2xx
and R3xxx chips).
Which it doesn't seem to work out of the box, people seem to have
positive experience with the open source r300_dri driver.
