The openarena benchmarks are worse again in Ubuntu 10.04: with compiz on: ~175 fps with compiz off: ~215 fps Compare this with Hardy, ~450 fps, and Intrepid, ~250 fps, both with compiz running. I've tried with nvidia 195.36.15 and 195.36.24. ** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 (Ubuntu)

With the 185.18.14 driver on the 2.6.30-10-generic kernel in Jaunty, the openarena benchmark has improved to around 300 fps in the openarena benchmark. This is still well below the 450 in the Hardy/Intrepid/173.14.12 combination, although to be fair I couldn't reproduce these results last time I tr

It's slightly faster still with kernel 2.6.30.rc3, maybe 10% better frame rate in COD4. What _does_ seem to be an issue with both 2.6.28 and 2.6.30 that wasn't present in earlier kernels is that often the game will run fast but then 'stutter' - fps drops right down - and then recover again. This d

I think I have a different problem from that bug. nvidia-settings says that PowerMizer is set at performance level 2 (maximum performance), even at idle (475MHz/702MHz). Compiz runs nice and fast with both 173.14.12 and 177.80 - it's only when running these games that I notice the big drop in fps.

Moving to the (two) nvidia-glx driver packages. This isn't (directly) going to be a problem with Xserver 1.5, because the nvidia drivers don't actually use any of the X server's GL stack (although it might be lack of optimisation against the new X server ABI or somesuch). Further debugging at thi
