Kill -9 does the trick. I had been using xkill and I guess it does not do that. Destroying or closing the window, or using xkill, results in a respawn, but kill -9 from the terminal gets rid of it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed

@#25 Maximum performance is not an overclocked setting. I would expect overheating when overclocking. Not to say that Nvidia cards don't do that under normal speed, because the ones that don't do powermizer have for me in the past. However that only happens if you have insufficient cooling.
