Yes, the two features are similar. However the resolution to bug 901097 is much more efficient, and hopefully faster.

[Compiz] [Bug 964788] Re: bad gaming performance when running compiz (nvida gt-240)
On bug 901097 it says "Add option to use glXSwapBuffers on every frame". Is this similar to the option in CompizConfig: Workarounds->Force full screen redraws (buffer swap) on repaint? If I enable this, the square artifact disappears, but the lag remains. Only the option "unredirect fullscreen windows" fixes this issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/964788 Title: bad gaming performance when running compiz (nvida gt-240) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/964788/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : compiz@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

OK, let's ignore bug 1012401 because it's a separate bug and unlikely to have a direct causal link to this one. Now, you say the nvidia powermizer issue was new in 12.10.

[Compiz] [Bug 964788] Re: bad gaming performance when running compiz (nvida gt-240)
Sorry for the confusion. The bug appeared after upgrading (fresh installation) from 11.10 to 12.04 and is still present in 12.10. While this bug is about the performance regression (lack of responsiveness, uneven frame rate), bug 1012401 is about the ghosting rectangle. I've experienced the performance regression only in combination with the square artifact, so it's very possible that it's the same bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/964788 Title: bad gaming performance when running compiz (nvida gt-240) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/964788/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : compiz@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Thank you Daniel, this is exactly what I'm experiencing.

I've just freshly installed Ubuntu 12.10 again. I didn't add any PPA's and I'm testing with default settings since I've also created a new user. The performance in 12.10 got much worse in comparison with 12.04. Playing Oilrush in 12.04 I get 30FPS while in 12.10 I get barely over 10FPS. I still have tearing (even if bug 901097 is fixed now) but at least this gets fixed with the unredirect fullscreen windows setting.

This bug is not a duplicate of bug 988079. It appears with compiz even if the unity plugin is deactivated. The only workaround is to temporary unredirect fullscreen windows when starting a game.
