This isn't necessarily true - it depends on which particular database you're referring to. Some of them (for example Neo4j) are fully ACID compliant. Check out this link for a comparison of some NoSQL databases: http://kkovacs.eu/cassandra-vs-mongodb-vs-couchdb-vs-redis

Generally speaking, ACID compliance imposes performance overhead. NoSql performance is enhanced by this lack of performance overhead.
