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
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?
