nVidia broke this some time after the 4xxx series of drivers. The new
ones (6111 and later) work well with OpenGL vsync. Be advised that some
(myself included) have trouble with the latest driver and MX440/MX4000
cards and need to drop back to 6111. You should be happier with this
card and OpenGL vsync.
