AppleInsider StaffMore specifically, Apple says NVIDIA Graphics Update 2009 [3.2MB download] improves cursor movement when using the Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter with the Mini DisplayPort-enabled MacBook Air, MacBook and MacBook Pro introduced this past October.
The patch also improves playback of HD video on the new unibody MacBook Pros with GeForce 9600M graphics cards, as well as legacy Mac systems that include NVIDIA's GeForce 7300 GT chip — namely the first-generation Mac Pro and Late 2006 24-inch iMac.

OK. Now we just need some new graphics cards for Mac Pros.
Why are there no Nvidia Tools?
When I use Boot Camp the 3d graphics can be massaged to look much nicer in Windows than OSX.
wow... I can now watch HD movies without having massive frame skips... NICE
Hopefully, this update will be included in my BTO 17-inch MBP.

Demand.
A relatively small percentage of Macs have dedicated graphics chips.
Also the gaming customers that typically want these types of features aren't there(yet).
