12.04 & Nvidia problem: WHICH card series WORK?

I Upgraded an Acer Extensa with an integrated nvidia 7050/nv620i, from 10.04 to 12.04.(full reinstall)
With the buggy nvidia driver 295.40,the system was unuable.


I downloaded from nvidia site and manually installed the following drivers that doesn't work perfectly:


295.49;
295.33;
302.07 (beta);


The situation was better than 295.40, but still non usable.
Moving from one desktop to another keep 2 seconds. Clicking on hour/date applet on top bar, shows the small windows drawing slowly....


What can Nvidia user do ?
Is it possible to state which Nvidia series works by sure :


100, 200, 400, 500 ?? Which one ?


For production environment, is changing card brand the only viable solution ?
