This bug also affects me, and I can confirm the exact same symptoms with 12.10, latest compiz and unity. I'm using the nvidia-current package (304.48). I'd love to help contribute system configs/logs/etc or anything else that might help, though apport-collect won't let me submit to this bug. -- Y

Swapping speed settings appears to only work some of the time. When a game is running, the desktop effects become incredibly slugging (5-10fps range), but the game will continue at an uninterrupted framerate. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, whic

Off what Mr. Spilsbury said, I tried setting the nVidia drivers to "prefer maximum performance" and the desktop is 100% silky smooth. When left on the default of adaptive the sluggishness returns. Not sure if that's significant. The only effect that runs smoothly on adaptive is the alt-tab switcher

Games are running *GREAT* at the moment. It's only desktop effects that are the problem. I'm going to keep using 12.10 now since games run even better than on Unity2D in 12.04, but the sluggish desktop effects continue to persist. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of

An odd observation, performance on some minor effects, like window expansion in the alt-tab switcher (where it blows up the icon into the animated window preview) runs very smoothly all the time. Window expo will sometimes be smooth and other time run very poorly; the same applies to the workspace

(Apologies for the broken up posts.) The workaround of turning off vsync, detection of refresh rate, and setting the refresh rate of compiz to 120+ no longer has any visible effect. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz i

Unredirect fullscreen windows fixes the issue for fullscreen applications. However, somewhat sluggish desktop performance persists, however I have yet to reproduce uneven screen redraws in windowed games that I can see in the Unigine Heaven demo. -- You received this bug notification because you

I just installed the latest daily of the beta, and the problem persists just as before on 12.04. The desktop performance with the latest updates has improved things back to the point of being equal to 12.04. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which

Thanks very much for that heads up. I'll try again as soon as I can, but since my laptop with nVidia graphics is also my main work computer it may be awhile before I have another good opportunity to test a full install of 12.10. =( -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of

I gave 12.10 with the latest compiz available from the updater a try, though I do not know the exact version number. Everything on the system ran very slowly even after installing any version of the nvidia driver package (current/current-updates/current-experimental). I know it's an early beta, but

I'd like to again echo namelezz on the refresh rate settings. I think the most annoying is the slight stuttering that can occur at what should be very playable framerates. Nothing new to add, just confirming the same behavior, though I'm down to just my 660m and could not test on the 460. -- You
