speeding up nvidia GeForce GT 640 on freebsd

Hello list,

Is there any way of speeding up GPU performance on freebsd10-stable with 
this card? Sometimes it seems slow at redrawing - for example if I have 
an xterm over a webpage in chrome - if I move the xterm, the outline of 
it can remain in the page for a few seconds. I know there are tools one 
can use on windows for doing this. Can this be done in FreeBSD?
I've pasted pciconf output below, if it helps:
