There are 3D NVidia drivers *for* Linux. I use them myself. OTOH, I have never seen a distribution that included them because they are not open source. The open source "nv" driver that I have seen included in distributions only supports 2d. To the best of my knowledge you must download and install the NVidia drivers your self. Not a big deal.
