Ty Young, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. To clarify, if you uninstall the nvidia proprietary drivers is this issue reproducible?

This mostly only happens on games that load a lot of data before starting. Smaller games usually start with little or not graphical glitches. While I am not 100% sure, this bug may also be causing a cut-out of the bootloader on all TTY console screens, making them very hard to use as well as the bootloader screen showing until the Gnome shell loads.
