The problem isn't limited to Unity3D. I switched over to GNOME 3 and though it improved the performance of one game (A Wizard's Lizard), 3D games tear on very capable hardware. I'm using Nvidia 331.xx.

Compiz is supposed to be disabled when fullscreen apps are running but it's not clearly working on anything that makes use of unity3d engine. The only working solution is installing openbox to my Ubuntu install and running the games from there.
