$ glxgears
Running synchronized to the vertical refresh. The framerate should be
approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate.
10114 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2021.769 FPS
10893 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2178.501 FPS
10874 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2174.723 FPS
10618 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2112.233 FPS

Previous driver installed was the direct NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.23-pkg1.run, so I've been able to easily compare performance.
96.43.23-0ubuntu0.1 went in without any problems at all. Thanks again!
