asgard2, the fact HDMI doesn't work at all in Precise through Saucy would be a downstream (Ubuntu) only issue.
However, the issue of low FPS and graphics artifacts in Trusty is an upstream one. Could you please report this problem through the appropriate channel by following the instructions _verbatim_ at http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Bugs/ ? Please provide a direct URL to your bug report once you have made it so that it may be tracked.
