Hi,
Your card appears to be supported so Ubuntu should have done this for you. When you first started Gnome a little PCI card icon (or something like that should have appeared on the top bar and offered to install the nVidia proprietary drivers. Did this happen? If not have a look in administration, preferences and system. Somewhere there should be a program with driver in its name that should do the installation.
Another possibility is that your monitor hasn't been properly detected. Have you found the settings to specify the monitor type and set it to a panel of the right resolution if the autodetection isn't working?
You can download the latest driver from nvidia.com if the Ubuntu installer hasn't worked. You will need to get to a text login sudo into root then do an init 3 before running it.
Cheers,
Paul.
