Nvidia driver issue?

Just wondering if anyone is having issues with nvidia-current causing refresh lag, tearing and artifacts. I am not running effects. I am running Ubuntu 10.04

I am having no problems running Ubuntu with current drivers on my gtx 260 superclocked+ and I run a ton of eye candy.

Thanks for responding. I have a BFG geforce 7950 GT OC Edition and it sucking wind. For some reason I get real choppy performance when running compiz and video of > 480p . I ran hwdinfo and the clock speed for the gpu seemed correct. However, the memory speed is at 750mhz rather than 1400mhz. I tried the nvidia over-clock applet ( ubuntu repo version) and I dont have an option of going up to 1400mhz. Any ideas?

Maybe get yourself (if you haven't got it) the NVclock tool. It *might* actually be the backend for that applet thing you mentioned, but if not, locate NVclock (from nvidia website), download, compile, and see if you can set the clock speed and/or other things with that?

Yes, it is the backend. Will try to compile today. How are you? You ever finish your firewall thing?

"Finish.." ?? What does that mean?

Heh, no not really, been sidetracked with countless other things... I'm well though, thanks for asking!
