Which ISO file did you install your Debian from, and which desktop environment did you choose?
In my case, I changed from Xubuntu to Debian one and a half years ago. I installed Debian with Xfce from the appropriate Live ISO and like you, I found my NVidia graphics not working and the NVidia settings tool being incomplete. This was very disappointing because watching video streams did not really work and even just move windows around was very jerky.
I found out that my old Xubuntu had a NVidia configuration file which was missing in Debian. My solution was: copying the configuration file from Xubuntu into the same directory in Debian.
The filename is and it containsPermissions are rw-r--r-- and owner/group is root.
This resulted in the settings app now showing the complete settings items which allowed me to set up "performance mode" and having a smooth jerk-free user experience.
Hope that helps, good luck.
